After reading Patrick Steffes' article, Five Years of Forgotten Chicago, Part 2: Research, I came across this image of a Seven-Up bottling plant Patrick referred to in his article: This is a 1961 Hedrich Blessing photo of the newly completed structure.

I visited an estate sale today at 2024 W Warren and found out that the old house there was sold and being demolished. This house looks to me to be from the 1860s and one part of it from the 1850s. Does any one have any info on the history of this house? I found an ad in the Tribune archives for the sale of the house from March 25, 1872. 281 Warren was the old pre-1909 address.

There is still a horse trough on the Lincoln Park running path just north of Fullerton. It was rebuilt a few years ago in concrete replacing a stone fixture. It runs year round.
