Hull House building + Leo Lerner Theater, 4520 N. Beacon
Date: May 28, 2013 04:57PM
The former Hull House building at 4520 N. Beacon has been bought by a developer who plans to radically alter it, though not tear it down. He plans to removed the Leo Lerner theater and reface in brick, adding height to facilitate turning the building in to apartments (article here: http://bit.ly/1311tHr). Can someone tell me more about the building itself? I think I remember from a Forgotten Chicago tour that it is one of the few examples of built architecture from an influential Chicago professor. Thanks for any info!
