The house is still standing and located at 5157 W. Strong (southeast corner of Strong & Laramie). We can tell it is a 2 flat by the 2 doorbells in the photo. The old address is posted above the doorbells; therefore, the photo was taken before the address change of 1909.

A win for Mars Candy building - The Landmarks Commission approved a final landmark recommendation this month for the former plant at 2019 N. Oak Park Ave. The proposed designation would protect the facades of the 1929 Spanish Revival-style building and its entry gate.
