friend of the purple: 21st May 2007 - 16:35 GMTknow the hotel's architect by chance???? the MAPA or a similar org. could help avert demolition if its significance and value can be 'reinforced'. coasterdude407: 22nd Jul 2007 - 15:10 GMTI started my hotel career with The Hyatt Lincolnwood in August, 1987. 20 years later I am still with Hyatt but in Orlando, FL. It is so sad to see The Purple Palace in such sad shape. I will always have fond memories of The Hyatt Lincolnwood. Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. Dan: 30th Jul 2007 - 20:29 GMTThanks for sharing your pictures. My parents got married at the Purple Hyatt in May, 1975 and they took us kids back there in May, 1985. I hadn't been back there since then, so I went by there the other day to see it and take pictures too. Any news on the demolition progress? I'd like to make a final trip when the wrecking ball is there. They're probably going to put up some more condos... just what we need. Sad.
procyon: 12th Jan 2008 - 19:55 GMTNick and I were looking around on the internet... a Trib article from the time (1961) says Hausner & Macsai and Freidman, Alschuler and Sincere did it. Where did you find the bit about Vinci being involved? That would be really interesting. Passerby: 16th May 2008 - 16:29 GMTWith the history linked to that hotel there is no stopping the wrecking ball. To quote the article in the Suntimes: Community development director of Lincolnwood Timothy Clarke "Asked when he'd like the hotel torn down, he answered, "Yesterday.""
