The historic Phyllis Wheatley Club and Home at 5128 S. Michigan Ave., an early 20th century settlement house established by suffragettes in the early 1900s, to aid African-American women coming from Down South during the Great Migration, made Preservation Chicago’s list of the city’s “7 Most Endangered Buildings” on Thursday. Supporters are fighting to save the home that’s poised to be torn down.
