Wow. Hopefully he saved it. He could make a few more dollars on top of the siding job.

They're not re-siding the building,they're demolishing it to make room for a 6 story bldg..While removing the old siding,they discovered the Ghost signs underneath.They're currently looking for someone to preserve and take the old building away as is.
It's all over our local News and I drove up there earlier this week. https://blockclubchicago.org/2022/0...n-ravenswood-building-facing-demolition/
