Demolition begins at old Children’s Memorial Hospital

The old Children’s Memorial was closed in 2012 when the hospital moved to Streeterville and was renamed Lurie Children’s Hospital


Big changes are coming to Chicago's Lincoln Park area as crews begin tearing down the old Children’s Memorial Hospital recently, according to an article on the CBS website.

The hospital, which has been empty for four years, will be methodically taken down over the next six months. Much of the reusable material will be saved and repurposed.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said Lincoln Central Association president Kenneth Dotson in the article. “I’m hoping to see the neighborhood revitalized; people rally around. You know, since the two hospitals closed, a lot of businesses have closed, and so we need something to revitalize Lincoln Avenue, and this should be the catalyst for that.”

The second hospital was Lincoln Park Hospital, which closed in 2008.
