third and final installment, documenting the death of chicago’s second german evangelical zion church, built by chicago architect theodore duesing in 1905.
sadly, but not suprisingly, nothing was salvaged and/or saved during its demolition. interestingly, the cornerstone didn’t have a time capsule.
