I cannot thank you enough for writing this article. Arthur Swanson was my grandpa. I grew up seeing this beautiful Tudor-style bachelor pad turned gate hose turned honeymoon suite all my life. I always thought it would be a part of my life. But, my last visit to Chicago at Christmastime, left me heartbroken. I can no longer pass by and see the beautiful stone and the upside down "S" that I had seen for years. I'm truly grateful that you cared enough to write about it.
