- [Our History](https://www.preservationchicago.org/about/our-history/) - OUR HISTORY Our History It was a chilly Sunday afternoon on April 2, 2000. A diverse group of Chicagoans, picket signs in hand, assembled at a rally at the corner of Dearborn and Elm Streets on Chicago’s Near North Side. This informal group of activists, architects, preservationists and other concerned citizens was fighting to save Although many outstanding buildings were lost, many more efforts were successful. Through it all, Preservation Chicago has remained an organization committed to the idea that all preservation is local. The most effective preservation efforts always begin within the community at the grass-roots level. After approximately 20 years, Preservation Chicago has grown from a rag-tag group of volunteers into a mature organization with an office and a professional staff. However, it still remains true to the founder’s original vision to work collectively with neighborhood organizations and residents to ensure that Chicago’s historic past will always remain a part of Chicago’s future.
