PDF Download: Preservation Chicago’s 2016 Chicago 7 Most Endangered Booklet
Every year, Preservation Chicago announces its “Chicago’s 7” list of Most Endangered Buildings. The purpose of the Chicago 7 is to raise public awareness about the threats facing some of Chicago’s most at-risk architectural treasures, whether they are a single building like Helmut Jahn’s Thompson Center, an entire neighborhood, or a thematic category of buildings such as former Sears Stores across the city.
This year we have taken the extraordinary step of expanding our list to include 8 entries, in order to call attention to the exceptional threat to one of the city’s most magnificent Catholic churches, Pilsen’s St. Adalbert.
