Anyone familiar with Prairie avenue will probably know the Harriet Rees house at 2110 Prairie. For many years it sat alone , one of the few originals left in the area. In recent years the area has been built up ,with new townhouses replicating the past.
Of course with all the rebuilding here and McCormack Place the developers came sniffing around ,putting the house in jeopardy of being torn down for a new hotel . Luckily someone reached a compromise and they have moved the building one block north. The following web site details the move.
