The College Fix

The University of Chicago owns Ronald Reagan’s childhood home. Guess what could happen to the building?

The apartment building at 832 E. 57th Street was once the Chicago home of a boy who would become a President.

No, it’s not Barack Obama of Hawaii. It was at the apartment’s first floor window that a young Ronald Reagan looked out upon the world…

Now, the University of Chicago Medical Center has announced plans to turn Reagan’s Chicago home into a parking lot…
While the university is planning to kill Reagan’s home, University of Chicago is also aggressively lobbying to be the site of President Barack Obama’s presidential library.

Could the Reagan site become a parking lot for Obama’s library? Opponents of the demolition say yes.
