Recent Past Survey Photos

 

These “slide shows” are intended to provide a sampling of buildings surveyed during Fall 2006 and 2007 of 26 communities in northern Cook County, Illinois. The survey was conducted by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Graduate Program in Historic Preservation.

Slide shows are organized by three themes: 1) specific community, 2) type of building, and 3) building details, including materials, roofs, and interiors. Only non-residential buildings were covered by the survey, while commercial, institutional, office, and religious structures are included. The fact that a photograph is featured does not necessarily indicate a building’s significance. The slide shows present a wide variety of building types and geographic distribution.

(No photographs are shown for Golf and Kenilworth, due to the limited amount of recent past structures in those communities.)
