Forgotten Chicago

Members of the  web site Forgotten Chicago http://forgottenchicago.com/ will present a powerpoint lecture about the history of Chicago's forgotten architecutre, neighborhoods and cityscape.  Forgotten Chicago is a collection of photographs and information documenting little known elements of Chicago's infrastructure, architecture, neighborhoods and general cityscape.  The hope is "that by exposing many of these often overlooked elements of Chicago’s built environment to a wider audience will result in more interest in their preservation. Certainly, much of the content on the site is included mainly for documentation and historical reasons, and of course not every old structure in the city is worthy of being preserved. However, some of the structures included on the site are little known but of important architectural and historical interest. We hope that their inclusion will raise public awareness and result in their preservation rather than demolition in the future."
