Old Chicago on Boulder’s Pearl Street could be razed
The original Old Chicago pizzeria, which opened 40 years ago at the west end of Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, is likely to lose its home.
Property owner Philip Day, the son of Old Chicago founder Frank Day, said parts of the building at 1102 Pearl St. that date back to the 1930s have become “decrepit” and too expensive to renovate, according to the Daily Camera. An application filed with Boulder’s Planning Department indicates that he plans to tear down the one-story restaurant and replace it with a three-story office and retail building including a ground-floor restaurant or retail shop.
