Due to the popularity of yesterdays posting about the Jakter Hotel in Chicago's Elsdon neighborhood, I have decided to contribute this news article from 1983, and another photo of the demolition of the site. I had clipped out and saved this important and historic article, that had appeared in the local Brighton Park and Mc Kinley Park Life newspaper. As I was researching My own archives, I had come across this article, and thought that it would help answer any questions that the interested readers on My blog site have been asking about. I hope that this is helpfull and informative.Welcome to my rail fan page! Here you'll find information and pictures of railroad related items from the Chicagoland area, Wisconsin and Indiana.

Yup, this answers them all! I didn't know it was converted from an AT&T switching office.
Cool. I think it was a rather handsome building.
Awesome find. Never knew any of that. Fantastic local history.
