Julia C. Lathrop Homes

Set out on a walk Sunday afternoon and ended up on the path behind Lathrop Homes that parallels the river north of Diversey. The walk-up buildings look to be in pretty good shape for being built in 1938. This building is fairly modest one, but nicely scaled with lots of brickwork detailing. I hope these buildings will be rehabbed and not demolished as the Lathrop Redevelopment unfolds.

Here is the central heating plant on the river - the Damen bridge is in the background. It was a beautiful day with some really nice wispy clouds! We also stumbled upon the Diversey Floating Wetland just south of Diversey near the heating plant.
