City Advances on Harper Parking Lot Plan
City officials continue negotiations over compensation for Harper property owners. Felix Simmenauer, an architect at 5225 Harper, fights demolition and proposes a cooperative remodeling of the Harper row called Harper Gardens. He argues the Harper theater is closed and the lot will remain unused amid Hyde Park A and B plans and other drive ins. Planners insist the lot is needed as 52nd and Lake Park will be widened and the surrounding lots redeveloped.
