Got a Few Thousand Lying Around?

You can own your very own piece of Chicago history if you have enough money. June 2nd, Christies will be auctioning off seven lots fro Chicago's Stock Exchange Building which was built in 1894 by Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler.

One item is a wrought-iron elevator enclosure, estimated to go from between $20,000 to $30,000 and three leaded-glass ceiling panels which might go for $7,000.

It is mot actually clear how the property came to be with Christie's. In the late 60s, there was a major effort ton save the building which was demolished 1971-1972.
