Landmarks Illinois announces 2021 most endangered historic places
May 10, 2021
Landmarks Illinois has announced the 2021 Most Endangered Historic Places in Illinois, its annual list of the top threatened architecturally and culturally significant sites throughout the state.
Properties included on Landmarks Illinois’ annual Most Endangered Historic Places in Illinois are those threatened by a lack of proper maintenance due to neglect or insufficient funding for repair and face the threat of demolition and/or inappropriate redevelopment. The annual Most Endangered list, now in its 27th year, aims to boost advocacy efforts and build support for each property’s eventual preservation. Landmarks Illinois works with local advocates associated with each property included on the Most Endangered Historic Places in Illinois, as well as with elected officials and building and preservation professionals to find a viable preservation solution for the threatened sites.
