Chicago Abandoned Lot Project

Vacant Property

Future site of the Chicago Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Museum
The vacant lot at 1550 N. Ashland at 16th is the site of the apartment building where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., lived with his family in Chicago in 1966. This lot has been vacant for at least six years. While photographing the site in January 2007, my friend and I found a little baggie with white residue from crack cocaine. A playground and school can be found next door.
It's time for a change, don't you think?
