Description |
This is a photograph, developed as a slide, of the damages after the 1967 Oak Lawn tornado. The color image was taken from near 94th Street looking south on Massasoit Avenue. Damaged and destroyed homes line the west side of the street. The first home, a brick split level, seen on the right side of the photo has roof and window damage but the next homes are almost completely destroyed. In the far background, the Oak Lawn water tower at 98th Street and Massasoit Avenue is visible. |
