'These places tell important stories from our past — stories that should not be erased due to insufficient investment or general disregard for our collective histories.'
CHICAGO — A shuttered Chicago theater, a city office building, and a former canning factory in the suburbs are some of the ten structures on the 2024 Landmark Illinois list of the Most Endangered Historic Places.The list highlights what the organization called '10 culturally and architecturally significant sites across the state that are desperately in need of preservation resources.'Three of those endangered buildings are located in Cook County.
According to Landmarks Illinois, 'it has suffered from deferred maintenance since fully closing in 2018.' The organization said that while the current owner is interested in revitalizing the space, 'long-term plans remain unclear, and securing financing has been a challenge.' The Libby building in Blue Island used to be a canning and bottling factory.
