The All-Stars Gentlemen’s Club, located at 11645 W. Grand Avenue in Northlake, IL, was completely destroyed by a fast-moving fire today. The building went up quickly and collapsed just as fast, leaving behind a scene of total devastation. Despite the cold weather—temperatures were in the high teens—the intense heat from the blaze was visible for miles, with the towering flames clearly seen from up to 20 miles away. The club is situated within the Leyden Township Fire Protection District, just one block east of the I-294 tollway.
A large number of fire departments from MABAS Division 20 responded, including units from Rosemont, Maywood, Westchester, Schiller Park, Melrose Park, Northlake, Stone Park, Elmwood Park, Bensenville, River Grove, Bellwood, and Franklin Park. Firefighters worked aggressively to contain the fire, but it proved extremely challenging due to its rapid spread. Several local photographers rushed to the scene to capture the event, though most arrived after the main structure had already fallen.
Among those who managed to document the incident were Steve Redick, Jeff Rudolph, Larry Shapiro, and Tim Olk. While they all arrived after the roof had collapsed, their photos still offer a powerful glimpse into the destruction. Here are a few striking shots from Tim Olk, along with a panoramic view of the rear of the site taken by Steve Redick. More images and videos are expected to be released soon.
