The final landmark decision for the 1946-vintage building at 2715 Hurd Ave. in Northwest Evanston is now up to City Council.
Bernard Citron, attorney for the Church and also a former architect, told the preservation panel that the building, which was supposedly designed by famed Evanston architect Lawrence Perkins, does not have enough historic significance to merit landmarking.
