Humboldt Park Stables Statement of Facts and FOIA Documents

A Statement of Facts and FOIA research documents surrounding the illegal construction in Humboldt Park adjacent to the Chicago Landmarked Humboldt Park Receptory & Stable Building are below.

Since construction began, Preservation Chicago has researched through the Freedom of Information Act documents from five city and state agencies to better understand the process that resulted in the construction of a building in Humboldt Park by the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture without first securing the necessary building permits and other approvals.

This statement of facts is a summary based on the lengthy set of exhibits which corroborate dates and information. Link to Humboldt Park Stables Statement of Facts.
