Squeezing in some hoops in Gold Coast. Alley courts are as old as most bungalows but this one caught my eye. The basket is installed on a new garage next to the coach house of a vintage mansion at Burton and Dearborn. The alley neighbor directly to the west is the Faulkner House high-rise that is part of Sandburg Village. It is a little known fact that William Faulkner shot his free throws "granny style". I made that up.
Faulkner House at 70 West Burton Place, Chicago IL 60610 overlooks the hoop. |
The amazing vintage property at Burton and Dearborn and owner of the alley basketball hoop. |
