At the insistence of Mamie Till Bradley, and over the objections of Mississippi authorities, the body was shipped back to Chicago for an open casket funeral. Mrs. Till Bradley was later quoted as saying that she wanted the world to see what had been done to Emmett.

In early September of 1955, as many as 100,000 people had gathered at the Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ, located at 4021 S. State Street, to pay their respects. Nurses were stationed at the front of the casket because so many people became ill at the site of Emmett’s tattered body.

When a city loses a landmarked structure designed by The Birth of Gospel two of the world’s most revered and influential architects, In 1922, the synagogue became the Pilgrim Baptist Church, it’s a heartbreak.

Such during the Great Migration between World Wars I and II. was the case on January 6, 2006, when fire gutted the Bronzeville began to flourish as a business, cultural and 115-year-old Pilgrim Baptist Church in Chicago’s storied social center for middle-class Blacks, and it was during this Bronzeville neighborhood. time, in this Church, that jazz and blues artist Thomas A.

The Church started showing stark contrast to the splendor it housed within – a spacious signs of disrepair, triggering its designation as a historic sanctuary exemplifying the genius and aesthetics that were Chicago landmark in 1981.

But more were optimistic, including Preservation Chicago. In a statement to the Press and to a general gathering that included Church and City officials, preservationists and builders, Preservation Chicago has declared, “We encourage the preservation of the exterior walls and their incorporation in any future structure.” We are also on record (Chicago Tribune,2/9/06) for urging the City to monitor repairs on historic buildings more closely so that fires of this nature do not occur in the future.

Hope and Faith As of 2/17/06, a study by structural engineers of Wiss, Janney, Elstner Assoc., Inc. has shown that significant portions of Pilgrim Baptist’s exterior walls appear to remain structurally sound, giving reason for much optimism by experts, and much hope by the faithful, that the Pilgrim Baptist Church can rise again to be even better, even stronger …but just as beautiful as it was in its glory days.

 PRESERVATION CHICAGO www.preservationchicago.org ARTFUL DODGER UNABLE TO DODGE WRECKING BALL

In November, 2005, a building at 1734 W. Wabansia Street appeared on the Demolition Delay list of the City of Chicago’s website. Preservation Chicago, which closely monitors the website, knew immediately that this was no ordinary building.

This structure, located at 1734 W. Wabansia, is known to Chicagoans from all over as the Artful Dodger building, since it hosted the Artful Dodger bar and dance club for roughly two decades. Furthermore, the Artful Dodger building had been designed in 1899 by John S. Flizikowski, a Polish immigrant who was the first prominent Polish- American architect in the city.

Residents Unite This news of the pending demolition caused an immediate uproar among residents of the Wicker Park and Bucktown neighborhoods, since it involved a highly visible and beautiful building. Preservation Chicago sprung into action, contacting members of the Wicker Park Committee (WPC) and the Bucktown Community Organization (BCO). Both of these organizations joined with Preservation Chicago in sponsorship of a petition opposing the demolition of the Artful Dodger building.

Preservation Chicago also voiced opposition to Alderman Ted Matlak. It turned out that Alderman Matlak had recently approved a rezoning of the site that would allow the new Artful Dodger owner, Wally Kos, to move ahead with his redevelopment plans. These plans were known by entrance to the Blue Line elevated train. Countless flyers the alderman to include demolition, yet the alderman still were distributed as signatures were obtained. approved the zoning change. Furthermore, the alderman had not referred the rezoning request to the BCO, despite In less than one month, over 3,000 signatures with addresses an understanding that the alderman would refer rezoning were obtained, with over 75 per cent of the signatures requests by developers to that organization. coming from residents of the immediate neighborhood. The neighborhood outcry was loud and sustained. Several neighbors came forward to state that they never received mailed notice of the rezoning of the Artful Extensive media coverage of the fight for the Artful Dodger site. An even greater number noted that there was Dodger brought pressure upon Alderman Matlak and never a sign posted on the building about the rezoning, Kos. Simultaneously, Andy Schcolnik, a developer and as is required by law. In spite of these deficiencies in the Preservation Chicago member, stepped forward to offer to rezoning process for the site, the City refused to rescind purchase and restore the Artful Dodger building. the rezoning.

However, as the 90-day Demolition Delay period with a petition campaign in the heart of winter. Throughout expired, Kos told Schcolnik that the deal was off.

And the real reason to be watchful is the fact that the federal government’s property manager, the U.S. General Services Administration, owns property adjacent to the Berghoff and is buying up nearby structures to expand the Chicago Federal Center. Although they state that they have no plans to buy the Berghoff building, we are all too aware of the many empty lots and unsightly developments that have been created after similar statements have been made. Preservation Chicago stands by our recommendation and will continue to keep a vigilant eye on the future of what was once the home of a great Chicago icon.
