Former Spink's Menswear store, 4753 W. Madison, Chicago. The store had this great sign but I think there was a fire there within the last 10 years and the sign is gone. The building was built in 1923, Z. Erol Smith, architect.

I feel like I just found a gold nugget! During my daily streetview ambling I just now discovered a 1925 apartment building designed by RM Schindler that was thought to have been demolished for the 101 freeway. But it wasn’t! It was *moved.* (first screenshot is from US Modernist)

It must feel really good for the building to get re-stuccoed like this.
