A Chicago Tribune investigation finds 500 more potential landmarks razed in Chicago's neighborhoods.
"The surprise destruction of the farmhouse was far from an isolated incident. The Walker home was one of hundreds of structures that city officials recognized as valuable, but then tore down -- or permitted to be torn down -- anyway. A Tribune computer analysis and investigation shows that the problem, which has devastated the character of Chicago's neighborhoods, is much worse than previously known... The latest research has found another 500 demolished structures, bringing the total to 704, or 4 percent of the buildings on the survey. Nearly two-thirds of the historic buildings have been replaced by vacant lots and parking lots, a trend that is typical in poor districts such as the Near West Side."
