- The Vautravers Building is a historic apartment building at 947 W Newport in the Lake View neighborhood of Chicago. It was relocated in 2021 to preserve it as part of the reconstruction of the CTA Red Line elevated rail structure. Constructed in 1894, the building's original owners refused to sell when the Northwestern Elevated Railroad was constructed, forcing the track to be curved to avoid the building. It was moved approximately 30 feet to allow the rail line to be straightened so trains could operate at a faster speed. Fourteen other buildings in the area were demolished as part of the rail improvements, with the Vautravers Building the only structure to be preserved by relocation. (en)
