CHICAGO (CBS) — Demolition crews are tearing down the former boyhood home of President Reagan in Hyde Park.

The boy who would become the nation’s 40th president lived in the apartment with his parents in 1914-1915 when he was about two years old.

The website DNAInfo was on the scene as wrecking crane began to tear down the vacant apartment building at 832 E. 57th Street.

The property, which is near the University of Chicago Hospital, had been purchased years ago by the university.

Preservationists had been trying to save the building for its historical significance.
