After 130+ years the real downtown structure "Central camera"
Burned during the riot.
A classic facade lost to history

Well, not necessarily lost. Listening to an news interview, last night, with the 77 year old, 3rd. generation owner, he says it will be rebuilt and better than ever. In the video, on the news, it looked like the interior was badly damaged, but what was amazing to me was that the large neon sign, was lit as brightly as ever and perfectly in tact.

So glad you guys captured this!!!!

Where is the actual store located?

230 S. Wabash Avenue Chicago IL 60604

Thanks, Was cool to check it out on street view. Sad it was damaged. I feel like i been there a hundred times as the model sits on top of my entertainment center & i enjoy it every day.
