The Chicago Public Library on the corner of Narragansett and Barry was built around 1971 or so. I remember playing in the huge sand pit that was there just before construction. I'm trying to remember what was there before the library. Most if not all of the folks who were there at the time are now gone. Any chance anyone has a few photos of this area before 1970? I must have been 7 years old or so and lived a block south of there on Nagle.
