Apartment Building Question
I've always wondered about the building. Was it a real-life building, and was it originally built as a manufacturing facility, if it was real?

Yes it was a real life building that has been knocked down since then. Esther Rolle even went to Chicago in 1974 to visit the projects that were featured in the opening credits. |
