Preservation Easements Program

Overview

 

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.
