Logan Square Preservation

About Us

Logan Square Preservation is a community advocacy

organization and neighborhood historical society.

Founded in 1980, its first mission was to preserve historic architecture and the beauty of our little piece of Chicago’s boulevard system. Since then we have expanded to become a strong consortium of neighbors who meet regularly to stay informed about the happenings of the neighborhood and advocate for an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable neighborhood, that honors our historic roots and celebrates the vibrant community we live in today.

Some of our accomplishments: 
  • We've planted hundreds of trees on the boulevards, replacing elm and ash trees lost to disease
  • We successfully advocated for local and national historic designations for Logan, Humboldt, and Kedzie Boulevards as well as Palmer Square, and are currently working to expand the geography of that designation
  • We facilitated the restoration of the Comfort Station and advocated for the creation of a public arts and events space.  We are working on a new plan to upgrade and maintain the space in 2025.
  • We maintain the largest neighborhood-based archive of artifacts, photos and ephemera in Chicago, and regularly curate public displays
  • We facilitated a voluntary easement program to help protect our neighborhood's historic vernacular residential properties
  • We have ongoing projects to design and build three parks and a food truck lot
  • We have created partnerships with the Chicago Park District, The Boys and girls Club, multiple religious institutions, aldermen, community organizations, the Chamber of Commerce, Bikerdike Redevelopment Corporation, Open Lands, and more for various projects that enrich our neighborhood, keep it sustainable, and maintain our beautiful historic built environment.


Logan Square Preservation is a 501(c)3 non-profit.
