a year later...
granite and concrete: parts and pieces of chicago's demolished buildings landed at lake delton during depression.
images of salvaged ornament from boyington's board of trade building (1885-1929) and wright's midway gardens (1914-1929) located at an old chicago wrecker's summer cottage (dawn manor) in the dells.
during the late 19th and early 20th century, william j. newman's excavation and wrecking company demolished several chicago buildings including jenney's home insurance building (1885-1931), chicago city hall (1885-1905), boyington's board of trade building (1882-1929) and wright's midway gardens (1914-1929).
remnants from two of those buildings landed at his lake delton summer home (i.e., dawn manor) to dress up the property surrounding the quaint cottage.
the house was recently moved, but cannot recall were it was relocated.
