The sun sets on another season at Wrigley Field.

Opened in the late 1970s, this Sheraton Hotel advertised itself as a “taste of the 80s today”. Only open for a few years, it remained a “taste of the 80s” until finally being gutted a couple of years ago for a long-stalled renovation.

Hit hard by scrappers, both the interior and exterior walls of this former high-end apartment high-rise are crumbling.

Built for the Bear Brand Hosiery Company during the First World War, this factory featured both 19th century wooden mill-style construction and modern 20th century steel-sash windows. The building is being demolished after decades of abandonment and decay.

The detail that used to be put into industrial structures is remarkable. Without the smoke stacks, this power plant could pass for a government building.
