The Commission on Chicago Landmarks honored 10 distinctive projects from across the City of Chicago with the 2019 Preservation Excellence Awards. The winners of the landmark awards were chosen from dozens of projects reviewed by the Commission’s Permit Review Committee. Only properties that have been designated by the City Council as Chicago Landmarks or as part of a Landmark district were eligible.
Established in 1999, the awards recognize a wide range of efforts to preserve, restore and promote the City’s architectural heritage.
