Commission on Chicago Landmarks disapproval of Permit Application No. 101052125 for demolition of building at 2347 S Michigan Ave in Motor Row District
The Department of Planning and Development in the City of Chicago denied a permit application for the demolition of a historic building at 2347 S. Michigan Avenue in the Motor Row District. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks evaluated the application based on criteria outlined in their regulations and guidelines, and found that the building, constructed in 1910, contributes significantly to the district's architectural and historical character. The building met multiple criteria for landmark designation, including its large storefront windows, a workshop, and skylights. The Commission found that the proposed demolition would violate preservation standards and guidelines, and would have an adverse effect on the district. Therefore, the demolition permit application was disapproved.
