The whimsical animal sculptures that once formed Animal Court Playground at the demolished Jane Addams Homes have been saved and are close to being restored and reinstalled in a new park as part of the mixed-income Roosevelt Square development. Related Midwest VP Will Tippens tells Preservation Nation funds are still needed for the restoration work, but he's confident that the new sculpture park will be at the forefront of Related's next phase of Roosevelt Square construction. The sculptures were designed by influential modernist Edgar Miller and date to the 1930s. [Preservation Nation via Atlantic Cities, previously]
