The CVS in Wicker Park at 1200 N. Ashland (on the corner of Ashland, Division and Milwaukee ) will close its doors on March 7th. This news comes shortly after the announced closure of the Wicker Park Walgreens on Milwaukee, North Avenue and Damen at the end of January. The historic Home Bank and Trust Building is a landmark in the center of Chicago’s Polish community. It was built in 1926 and was designed by Karl M. Vitzthum & Company. It is a Classical Revival style building with a dramatic banking hall. It was built in an era when banking was a grand practice. CVS said the closure is a part of their larger business plan to respond better to consumer buying patterns. Prescriptions will be transferred to CVS at 771 N. Ogden.
Great pictures. Although I have been in this building, the pictures allowed me to see each beautiful detail. I hope a tenant is found that appreciates it.
