I would love to nose around there but the neighborhood isn't the best and I would be very conspicuous searching around with a metal detector. Plus part of the house could be under modern archer avenue which has clearly been widened, if you compare with historic aerials from 1938 (the earliest they have). And if one actually detected that narrow slab of green between Archer and the Stevenson (where part of the house once stood), you'd find probably a meter of more of modern debris from the construction of the Stevenson, the widening of Archer Ave, and tons of modern trash thrown about in the neighborhood. It still would be cool to make a drive by one day- Maybe if they play baseball this summer, I'll take a look on the way to a White Sox game as it isn't too far from the stadium.
