This entry was posted on January 12 2017 by Eric
an incredible discovery, documented shortly after demolition work was finished for the day. the oculus was found intact behind the bricked-in wall. the unusual number of muntins (and "hub") suggests an automobile wheel, which was a popular motif was used in other buildings along logan square's "motor row."
the complete arch top surround with centrally located spoked portal or oculus. the assembly is comprised of red painted douglas fir or yellow pine wood with original textured plate glass. i was not there during the time this architectural element was removed. thanks to andrew schneider of logan square preservation for saving the assembly. photo courtesy of andrew schneider.
