On March 29, 2022, Preservation Chicago lead the effort to suggest new potential Chicago Landmarks at the Program Committee Hearing Commission on Chicago Landmarks. Preservation Chicago staff testified on behalf of seven of the following buildings. Additionally, we played an important role supporting community members and coordinating community efforts with nearly all of the suggested buildings. This is an important first step on the long process for a building to become a Designated Chicago Landmark. Buildings formally suggested for Chicago Landmark Designation include:
- Altgeld School Building C
- Altgeld “Up Top” Store
- Mars Candy
- 2150 E. 71st St.
- 1320 S. Kedvale Avenue
- Wax Trax! Records
