And of course, Dennis Rodkin wrote about it in Crain's:
Bronzeville home where Mayor Harold Washington lived as a child goes up for sale
The then-future mayor was 6 years old in 1928 when he, his father and a brother moved into the greystone owned by a family friend. It's now vacant and in need of rehab.
The eventual sale price remains to be seen, but it's a sign of the huge shifts in Bronzeville that these King Drive mansions are once again fetching mansion money. A couple decades ago, perfectly livable examples sold for less than $250K and one in this shape would have been hard to sell at all.
