Cuneo Memorial Hospital

Residents are complaining about noise and vibrations, and crews haven't begun pile-driving yet.

Crews began knocking down the structures at the corner of Montrose and Clarendon Avenue this week.

Cuneo is an architectural gem to some people in Uptown — but it likely won't be around for much longer.

A mid-century modern building faces the wrecking ball as part of a plan for luxury housing.

A developer who wanted to save the historic building was stopped from surveying the property.

Preservation Chicago said the pictures are from the 1950s.

David Baum said he is considering renovating Uptown's endangered historic building, without TIF funds.

Jim Belli, son of Edo Belli, added his voice to calls to reuse the Mid-Modern work.

The committee recommended destroying Cuneo Memorial Hospital, making 10 percent of units "affordable."  

Preservation advocates said TIF money should save — not destroy the Mid-Century Modernist work.

Preservationists fear that Cuneo Memorial Hospital could be razed to make way for a luxury high-rise.
