Sneak Peek: LGBT Senior Home Gets First Look in Rendering (PHOTOS)
Lake View will soon be home to an innovative senior community, and a new design rendering lets you see what the building will look like.
Chicago will soon break ground on one of the first affordable housing centers in America geared toward LGBT seniors, and now with this rendering, Lake View can get see what the building will look like.
The new building at 3600 N. Halsted St. will utilize the façade of the former Lake View police station at the corner of Halsted and Addison streets, a move that has a deep meaning for the community.
“That is the same building where some of our seniors were once arrested and held for being gay,” said former Center on Halsted representative Brian Richardson. “Now they’ll be living in an LGBT home that’s sprouted from that very police station. That is a fantastic metaphor.”
