Lakeview's 1914 Holabird & Roche-designed LaSalle Bank branch threatened?

It appears that the LaSalle Bank branch located at 3201 N. Ashland Avenue is now likely to be demolished, to be replaced by a redevelopment project led by Centrum Properties. Although significantly modified, this building has long played a key role in West Lakeview. LaSalle Bank no longer feels the need to maintain such a substantial presence on the site. Both it and the adjacent Meyer's Medic Building will likely be gone soon.

Alderman Tunney is fully supportive of the project, indicating that the land needs to be better utilized. Any thoughts on this site are appreciated. I will add photos soon.

Love, Mr. Archibleckture
