There's an estate sale going on today in a three story building across the street from Wrigley Field. It's one of those buildings with rooftop viewing built onto it. If you go, go as much to see cool touches of the vintage building - the fireplace is beautiful, the striped floor in the kitchen is, too - as for the sale.
The former occupant lived there for 25 years. His children, with the assistance of his former wife, are hoping to clear out the apartment by the middle of the month. That's when the building's owner, who also owns Murphy's Bleachers on the corner according to the family, plans to start renovations on the apartment.
There's a first floor and basement level with lots of everyday stuff in it. Golf clubs and gear and exercise equipment in the basement, along with miscellaneous tools and gadgets. Furniture, a closet full of men's suits (I overheard he was an attorney which would explain it), dated bedroom sets, more clothes, dishes. A bazaar item in the dining room: a new stand-alone sauna.
Here are the photos highlights from my stop there yesterday.
