There is no marker at the site today, which has been completely developed for residential housing. Since the site is on private property, the best you can do is drive around the perimeter streets of Clarendon Hills Rd. on the east, 61st St. on the south, Bentley Ave. on the west and 59th Street on the north, which affords a view of the area. The debris was strewn over much of this block.
