The purpose of the list is to focus attention on sites threatened by deterioration, lack of maintenance, insufficient funds or inappropriate development and to bolster local advocacy efforts and build support for each property’s eventual preservation. The Most Endangered Historic Places in Illinois list also draws attention to important policy issues that affect these properties and historic properties throughout the state. Landmarks Illinois announced this year’s top threatened places in the state at a virtual press conference on April 20, 2022. Read below to learn about the 2022 Most Endangered sites. PLACES IN CENTURY & CONSUMERS BUILDINGS, CHICAGO, COOK COUNTY Two highly visible, early 20th-century commercial buildings at 202-220 S. State St., which sit within the National Register-listed Loop Retail Historic District, face demolition by the federal government. Previous redevelopment plans were halted due to security concerns by the adjacent federal courts, but demolition will leave a noticeable hole in the downtown State Street corridor. EUGENE S. PIKE HOUSE, CHICAGO, CHICAGO COUNTY The picturesque, late 19th-century home once used as a “Watchman’s Residence” for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County sits at the southern edge of Dan Ryan Woods and is part of the National Register-listed Ridge Historic District. The house is vacant and deteriorating and requires an outside user and investor. WILL COUNTY COURTHOUSE, JOLIET, WILL COUNTY Built in 1969 and designed by Otto Stark of C.F. Murphy Associates in partnership with Krugel, Healy & Moore Architects, the Brutalist building is at risk of demolition due to Will County’s current lack of interest to explore reuse opportunities for the architecturally significant, but vacant structure. ELK’S LODGE NO. 64, ROCKFORD, WINNEBAGO COUNTY A former community meeting space built in 1912, the architecturally significant but long-vacant structure faces demolition by neglect. The building, which serves as an important gateway to the West Downtown Rockford Historic District where revitalization and reinvestment is booming, requires emergency repairs as well as a rehabilitation and reuse plan. GILLSON PARK, WILMETTE, COOK COUNTY A 60-acre, Prairie-style public park sitting along Lake Michigan that features naturalist landscapes and open space beloved by locals. The Wilmette Park District is however considering changes to the 107- year old park that would alter its passive design and remove greenery to add more roads and parking.
