Photographer Joey Nottoli snapped this picture during a renovation of Lawson House, a 90-year-old historic Art Deco apartment building near the north side of Chicago. Construction workers are seen demolishing an abandoned water tank on the property. "Sights like these are some of the most beautiful spectacles to see," says Nottoli. "Highlighting pieces like this does justice to the invisible work that goes on behind the scenes of major construction projects."
The structure, being renovated by The Walsh Group, will be converted into 409 affordable apartments from 538 single room occupancy units.
