CHICAGO, IL (Aug. 7, 2012) - A late 19th century Chicago building that has been “a beacon of light and a refuge” for thousands of members of the Union League Boys and Girls Club in the city’s near southwest side Pilsen neighborhood for 92 years, has a bright new future.
Chicago’s Mayor Rahm Emanuel led a tour last week for scores of community and civic leaders, educators, donors, Club alumni, members of the Union League Club of Chicago, contractor Tandem Construction and architect Antunovich Associates, of the new four-story, 17,000-square-foot addition to the original Union League Boys & Girls Club at 2157 West 19th Street.
“Boys and Girls Clubs are key to the direction of our children's lives and our city’s future – making our streets safe and our schools strong,“ said Mayor Emanuel.
"Nearly 100 years since it first opened, Club One has served over 100,000 young people. This new addition will ensure that the Union League Boys and Girls Club will be a pillar of progress here in Pilsen for the next 100 years.”
