Episode Synopsis "What's to Come for the 4800 Block of South Drexel Boulevard?"

This is story 3 of 3 in the series “What happened to the Tudor Gables?” This is a series co-produced with the Hyde Park Herald, profiling a historic Black-owned housing cooperative on Drexel Boulevard. In March 2021, after a $3.4 million rehab project, the cooperative abruptly dissolved and sold the building. The Herald/Weekly interviewed dozens of Tudor Gables shareholders, lawyers, contractors, and neighbors and reviewed hundreds of internal emails and public documents about the rich legacy of the “castle,” as members fondly referred to the building, the conflicts that led to its sale, and the changing face of the boulevard.
