Pilsen's St. Adalbert's Church has moved closer to gaining landmark status, which would protect it from demolition or significant alterations. On Thursday, the Commission on Chicago Landmarks voted unanimously to recommend the landmark designation for the 110-year-old vacant building. This recommendation sets up a final decision by the City Council next week. The move is seen as a key victory for former parishioners who have been fighting for years to preserve the historic structure.
