CHICAGO (WLS) -- A partial building collapse in Chicago's Gage Park neighborhood closed eastbound West 55th Street between South Mozart Street and South California Avenue

The one-story building in the 2700-block of West 55th Street appears to house a restaurant and an office. Two walls are hanging off the building and bricks spilled onto the sidewalk and street. The roof appears to have caved in where the walls fell.
