The National Maritime Union
The National Maritime Union hiring hall was situated at 2335 East 100th Street, which is just a short walk away from the house. Nowadays, the building is home to the Greater Morning View Church.
On the day of the murders, Speck walked into the hiring hall looking for a job.
Union officials gave him a spot on the SS Sinclair Great Lakes oil tanker in East Chicago. However, when he arrived, he was told that his position had already been filled.
Shipyard Inn
The Shipyard Inn was a 10-unit rooming house and bar that was situated at 10063 South Avenue North in East Chicago.
Speck rented a room here on the day of the murders.
This is the location where he raped Ella Mae Hooper at knifepoint and stole her pistol.
After murdering the nurses, Speck walked three miles back to his room.
The Shipyard Inn closed in October 1969 after its liquor license was revoked by Mayor Richard Daley. The decision came after officials learned that the real owner of the establishment wasn't listed on the license.
Later, it became a restaurant called the Golden Shell.
These days, the address is an empty lot. Judging by old aerial photographs, the building was torn down in the early 2000s.
