Marking The End of An Era and The Beginning of A New One, 1965
The Illinois Humane Society building at 1145 S. Wabash Avenue was closed and later demolished. A fixture from the building was removed and rehung at the new Polk Street offices of the Society's Children Service Division.
Standing in front of the building are, left to right, board members Benjamin Gingiss, Judge Hubert Will and Norman Pierce, with Mayor Richard J. Daley.
