After a year off in 2020, Illinois historic preservationists announced their list of the state’s most endangered historic places Wednesday, structures and sites they say are architecturally and culturally significant but at risk of being lost forever.
Landmarks Illinois unveiled its list of nine locations six of them in Chicago or suburban counties at a news conference designed to draw attention to the potential loss of these sites, some of which are well-known as others degrade in relative anonymity.
“Communities are passionate about their historic and culturally significant places, yet too often lack the resources necessary to maintain and preserve them,” Bonnie McDonald, president and CEO of Landmarks Illinois, said in a statement. The list “demonstrates the demand for creative solutions, partnerships and incentives to give places of our past a chance for reuse and renewed life.”
