The Wrigleys built this house for Bobby Dorr, the ballpark’s groundskeeper, in 1923. It was moved during the ballpark renovation but is back this season.

One of the oldest – if not the oldest – continuous operating hot-dog eatery opened in 1938 at 3422 W. Roosevelt Rd. The building was completed in 1893.
