Above:
The Prairie Farmer Building at 1230 West Washington in Chicago as depicted on
the cover of the 1955 WLS Family Album. Though Prairie Farmer and WLS are long
gone from this location, the building still stands. The WLS studios were located
on the third floor (with two rehearsal rooms and a music library located in the
penthouse area on the north edge of the building). Present day visitors to the
building can still see the studio and control room areas intact, albeit inhabited
by new tenants. Eventually I'll provide a video tour through parts of the third
floor as they appear today. |
