The Chicago's Landmarks Law is in jeopardy now that an Illinois Appeals Court in Cook County ordered a lawsuit that seeks to overturn the city's landmarks law be allowed to go forward. The lawsuit contends that the city's landmarks law is basically too subjective, overly vague, and could be abused in its application.
Read the Chicago Tribune here or read the Trib's Skyline blog coverage for more pithy and evolving content here. Preservation Mag online has this.
Meanwhile here in NYC two hardship cases have come to the fore and promise more conflict over the city's Landmarks Law. The most interesting and difficult one is Saint Vincent's Hospital's proposed demolition of the O'Toole building and the precedent that the Landmarks Commission will set as it decides this case.
