Yes it was the home of Eisenberg group home for boys, through the Jewish Children's Bureau, and later was converted to a school for children with behavior problems emotional difficulties in the late 70s, early 80s through(JCB)until its closing in 2007. They moved to a new location at 3145 West Pratt Boulevard, Chicago. <br /><br />I was a student at the the school from 91-95.

I have always enjoyed observing architecture, and while I've never been to Chicago, I always hear what a great city it is when it comes to design.<br /><br />Debra, if you ever get a chance, I would recommend that you check out the <a href="" rel="nofollow">luxury apartments in Boston</a>. Of course it's an older style, but I think every architecture ""connoisseur"" needs to tour this city at least once.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180214205361596444.post-76914453050688127732010-10-14T11:41:38.284-05:002010-10-14T11:41:38.284-05:00I have always loved architecture though never stud...I have always loved architecture though never studied it formally. Many of my childhood weekends were spent driving around Chicago with my Dad who worked for a builder in Chicago during the late 1950's-1970's. Blueprints and housing brochures we a staple in my home. As I got older, riding my bike around Evanston and looking at the beautiful old homes was a favorite pastime. Though I no longer live in Chicago, the architecture and background stories is still a favorite pass time.DebraG.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17605889400757120916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180214205361596444.post-32973294358497070152010-10-13T03:19:08.049-05:002010-10-13T03:19:08.049-05:00These apartments are really very beautiful.

No too large and over bearing. They didn't satuarate the area with hundreds of these delicately but industrially strong designs. I agree it is a scar to install those hideous balconies. Balconies in themselves are not wrong, only you can tell a contractor or builder must have come up with that plan, certainly wasn't anyone who had an affinity to the subtly of the design of the buildings. I recall townhomes my father built in the 50's-60's with the scale on par with the surrounding neighborhood even though they stood in the foreground of slab multi storied towers in the rear.
