Hits to Chicago Water Tanks keep coming, as the Grim Reaper visits 2221 South Michigan Avenue

A leaner, but still a beauty. The Chicago Water Tank at 2221 S Michigan Ave will be demolished.

Yesterday, the day we went to 3625 North Halsted in Lake View to find its Chicago Water Tank already taken down, the City of Chicago permitted another tank demolition, this one at 2221 South Michigan Avenue in Near South Side.

Master Guys Demolition, admittedly one of the best names if you’re going to tear stuff apart, is the demo contractor. The building itself at 2221 South Michigan, home of Windy City Furniture, will remain.

Brick pedestals are so much cooler than steel stands.
