Will the University of Chicago tear down one of Ronald Reagan’s boyhood homes? Alex Katz has the story at the College Fix, the all-new news website of the Student Free Press Association:
Today, having purchased the property and moved out its residents, the University of Chicago could soon demolish what was, until the election of Barack Obama, the only Chicago residence where a president has lived. The property would become part of the hospital expansion, which includes the William Eckhardt Research Center and a new child care center. It’s the architectural spin-off of David vs. Goliath, set in the Windy City, with the school that gave the world “Reaganomics”—by way of supply-side swami Milton Friedman—faced with the prospect of destroying a window into its namesake’s past.
And, strangely enough, nobody’s making a big fuss.
