[CBQ] Cicero FREIGHT HOUSE EIGHT

["little-q@att.net" <trains@davidstreeter.net>]

Along the south side of 29th Street, the north side of the west end of 
the yard at Lavergne, is a large warehouse. The west end of it, facing 
Ridgeland Avenue, is a brick section kind of like the end cap on a row 
of grocery store shelving. I'm guessing this was offices where clerks 
kept track of all the goods passing through the building. It has FREIGHT 
HOUSE EIGHT over the entrance. I assume this used to be a Q building, 
although signage visible in the Bing street view says VanGard 
Distribution. But I suppose most of you know this already.
I have driven past it on Ridgeland a few times recently and the west end 
is now enclosed by a rented construction fence, and all the doors and 
windows are boarded up. I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's slated for 
demolition or renovation or ...? The building still looks pretty solid 
on the outside.
If it is going to be demoed, I suggest that anyone who wants pictures of 
it get them soon (perhaps on a weekend, or someone might think you're a 
weirdo taking pictures of the school across the street).
