CHICAGO — Tandem Construction has started the second phase of a $4.2 million renovation of the Union League Boys & Girls Club at 2157 W. 19th St. in Chicago. Phase II includes a full remodelling of the original 19th century Club One building. Tandem completed Phase I, the construction of a four-story, 17,000-square-foot annex adjacent to the existing facility, in July. Dating back to the 1880s, Club One once housed a saloon and has been home to the Union League Boys & Girls Club since 1920. Tandem plans to renovate an exisiting gym, build a state-of-the-art technology center and remove an unused swimming pool in the basement to create a multipurpose space. The project is slated for completion at the end of this year.
