Reagan’s Boyhood Home Demolished

DNAinfo has photos of the demolition that began this week on the apartment building where President Ronald Reagan lived as a child.

“The University of Chicago bought the building in 2004 as part of a decadelong effort to buy all residential property immediately north of the hospital… Preservationists had tried to save the building, but were unable to persuade city or university officials that the gas-lit apartment where Reagan lived from ages 2 to 3 was historically significant.”
