Each year in January, a press conference is held to unveil Preservation
Chicago's "Chicago 7 Most Endangered Buildings." The purpose
of the Chicago 7 is to raise public awareness of the threats facing
some of our city's most at-risk architectural treasures, whether
they are single buildings, unique neighborhoods, or a category of
buildings, such as Great Chicago Warehouses or Chicago's Religious
Structures.
Preservation Chicago's 2008 most endangered:
1. Chicago Landmarks Ordinance
2. American Book Company Building
3. Devon Avenue Commercial District
4. Grant Park
5. Booker Building
6. Daily News Building and Plaza
7. Norwood Park
Thanks to the attention and actions triggered by being listed among our
annual Chicago 7, many of these structures are still standing - and
will remain so for future generations.
