Left: 4839 W. Ogden, Cicero, c.1975. Painted with silouhettes of hydraulic jacks, this Gottfried tied house was located close to the massive Hawthorne Works of the Western Electric Company. It was probably demolished when the 26th and Ogden interchange was reconfigured in the early 2000s.

Right: 11450 S. Front, c.1975. This one has an interesting story. It was part of a complex of buildings funded by Schlitz; some of which remain. Located in Kensington around 115th and King Drive, the complex was built across the tracks from the company town of Pullman. As Pullman was a dry town, the inevitability of a vice district was recognized by Schlitz. Pullman was built in its founder's utopian vision of a working town. Not all of the workers agreed. Only some of the complex was dedicated to vice however, most of it was comprised of housing and retail space, in addition to the saloons.
