Wall removal opens Harper Court view at entrance
The brick walls on Harper Court were taken down to create more sidewalk space and an open vista for visitors entering the Court. The wall, located beside the second body carriage, ran east to west across north and south ends. Suggestions for a functional replacement are invited by the Harper Court Foundation at 5240 S. Harper.
