Landmarks Color Code

From HistoryWiki

The Chicago Landmarks Historic Resources Survey classifies each listing by a color coded ranking system was used to identify historic and architectural significance relative to age, degree of external physical integrity, and level of possible significance.

This on-line version of the CHRS is designed to provide Rogers Park/West Ridge residents, community groups, businesses and other interested parties with easy access to the database. By making it available on the Internet, the Department of Housing and Economic Development, Historic Preservation Division, hopes to increase architectural awareness in our neighborhoods, assist independent preservation efforts, and provide greater insight into our neighborhoods' history. The CHRS was published in book form in 1996. It is no longer available for sale, but bound copies may be found at Chicago Public Libraries, university libraries, historical societies, and major research institutions in Chicago. We have a copy at the Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society.
