Water Tank Fell From Former Charlie Chaplin Home
Charlie Chaplin once called home to the building where a water tank fell Wednesday, injuring three people. The movie Child's Play was also filmed there.
A water tank fell from a 9-story building near Diversey Parkway Wednesday morning, sending three people to the hospital, one of whom was in critical condition.
The structure fell around 9:45 a.m. from the back of a building at 2800 N. Pine Grove Ave., commonly known as The Brewster or Lincoln Park Palace and it was unclear Wednesday whether it was up to date for city inspections.
The building was once home to actor Charlie Chaplin. The horror movie Child's Play featuring Chucky the doll was also filmed at The Brewster.
