According to the Polk Criss Cross Directory, in 1929 it was called the
"Tower Grove Bldg".

But it's disappearance predates my specific knowledge of the area.

I think the Preservation Chicago site has a photo of it, actually...it's under the 'Vanishing Urban Corners' section, last photo.

Is this it?
