Canada's construction news
BLOCK CLUB CHICAGO — This photo shows the existing Puerto Rican museum building with bland cinderblock construction.America’s only major museum dedicated to preserving Puerto Rican artifacts is undergoing an expansion, but not until it clears up a scandal involving the construction of an addition at its current site, a uniquely historical building in the city’s Humboldt Park neigbourhood on Chicago’s Near Northwest Side.
“As they say, Chicago, it’s the ‘city that Works,’” Ward Miller, executive director of Preservation Chicago chuckles, about the way in which the museum sought to eclipse official approvals to get a job done. That, Miller said, is not unknown in this city’s sometimes notorious past, dependent on political ties and who-knows-whom.
Along with a pair of turrets, it looks like something out of Hansel and Gretel. Designed to fit into the bucolic park around it, at one time it housed horse stables, gardening equipment and a caretaker’s office. Despite Preservation Chicago’s hard hitting report, Miller made clear the intention was never to hurt the museum.The city issued a stop work order in September 2022.In early October Ocasio abjectly apologized at a public meeting.
