Demolition of the Jakter Hotel in Chicago Illinois. February 1983.

I took this photograph way back in February of 1983.

An era of local urban blight is coming to an end in Chicago's Elsdon neighborhood, as the infamous Jakter Hotel of bad repute located at the southeast corner of South Kedzie Avenue and West 47th Street, is being demolished to make way for a new retail strip mall.
