08. Loyola Arms Hotel
1231 W. Loyola Ave.
1923 by Maurice L. Bein
Demolished 1996; now the site of a new development

This single room occupancy hotel provided basic rooms at weekly rates. In later years, the building was acquired and demolished by Loyola University in an attempt to reduce crime associated with the building. The resulting empty lot became a community garden but is currently being redeveloped for student housing.
