A developer is building nine apartments inside the Episcopal Church of the Advent, 2900 W. Logan Blvd.

The city approved the razing of the building at 1450 N. Dayton in just six days.

The fifth time was the charm for homeowner William Barry at the Commission on Chicago Landmarks.

Building owner laments "insane torture" of city regulations in what he called a misunderstanding.

The Zoning Board of Appeals approved the 50-unit Old Town project.

The Landmarks Commission also nominated the Lawson YMCA for the National Register of Historic Places.

The city's landmarks commission denied a request to tear down the workers cottage at 1639 N. North Park.

From the 1920s until the '60s, the stretch was lined with car dealerships, repair shops and showrooms.

Owners appealed at a public hearing for a demolition permit for 1639 N. North Park Ave.

The commission signed off on razing a "squat" Lincoln Park cottage neighbors considered an "eyesore."

The century-old home will be replaced by a new house. 

There were hopes of moving the distinctive building at Fullerton and Lincoln avenues.

City inspectors ruled, "The building is fire-damaged and structurally unstable."

Preservationists hope to save facade marking 60's, 70's counterculture site at 1610 N. Wells St.

The district must be approved by City Hall to officially receive Landmark status.
