Once restored that would be a lot more natural light in the space. Its a cool design. The window has traces of gold lettering on it from a former business.<br />The glass is broken to the left in the picture, a little bit of a hazard. But the copper trim (at least the part not covered by the frame for grating) is in excellent shape!<br /><br />Gotta like this....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678683729454882322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-80058674212197396632011-06-10T16:41:03.370-05:002011-06-10T16:41:03.370-05:00Awesome!

The previous owner had a on going battle with CTA about leaks. After several discussions with him, it was reported that the CTA only fixed apart of the roof, and never reimbursed the owner of Majestic for the property damage. To this date, you can find a pool of water on the roof because CTA does not keep the drain shoots clear of debris. I've personally seed up to 6 inches of water on the roof, since I live next to that property.<br /><br />Anyone will have a battle with CTA to correct any of the problems with that space.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742926445387871294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-66787707015562839642011-06-10T13:14:35.510-05:002011-06-10T13:14:35.510-05:00CTA, be sure to write to Potbelly and suggest this...CTA, be sure to write to Potbelly and suggest this location.
