S.091 – Joseph Jacob Walser, Jr., Residence,

42 North Central Avenue, Chicago, Illinois

 

MAP

 

More than any other property, this is the one that would make you cry.  The neighborhood is in seriously distressed condition.  The house shows such disrepair that you have to question what good it does to be designated as a local landmark.  Notice the damaged woodwork on the top photo. 

 

An alley allows some view of the back of the house and the garage.  This street is less than 3 miles from the FLW Home & Studio, but it seems to be a world away.
