The Landmarks Preservation Council of Illinois (the “LPCI”) received its
first easement in 1976 with the donation of the Henry Demarest
Lloyd house “Wayside”
in Winnetka. In the early 80s, LPCI organized a formal easement donation
program and acquired easements for Frank Lloyd Wright’s
Unity Temple
and the
Chicago Theater.
Today
approximately 440 preservation easements, not including an additional 96
structures at Fort Sheridan, a former Army Base on Chicago’s North
Shore, are protecting historic properties throughout Chicagoland. All
easements are monitored yearly by Landmarks Preservation Council of
Illinois (LPCI) staff and architects.
For further
information please contact LPCI at 312 922-1742 or send an email to
germanns@lpci.org.
