“School Building C” at Altgeld Gardens in Chicago faced demolition when it was included on the 2021 Most Endangered Historic Places in Illinois. The community wanted to see the school, built in 1944, rehabilitated and reused for jobs and vocational training opportunities for Altgeld Gardens residents. Since the Most Endangered listing in May 2021, Chicago Public Schools has halted demolition plans. Photo credit: Sean Reilly.
