View from northern side (Wendell). This was taken on Sunday afternoon - the remaining structure here was demolished the next morning, erasing all of the former Cabrini Extension from the city skyline.

Found across the street from 1230 North Burling at William Green Homes (Cabrini-Green).

The newspaper is an issue of Chicago Ink and it's dated March 1997. At this time, Cabrini-Green as a whole was still rather intact and the CHA's "Near North Redevelopment Initiative" had just been announced, recommending total demolition of the 1958 Cabrini Extension and 1962 Green Homes.
