* Press release… Gov. Bruce Rauner today signed Senate Bill 1783 , bipartisan legislation that extends the River Edge Redevelopment Zone tax credit program . The tax credit program has helped preserve historic buildings and grow local economies in the five communities where the credit is applicable: Aurora, East St. Louis, Elgin, Peoria and Rockford. “This program has already been a huge success,” Gov. Rauner said. “The River Edge Redevelopment Zone Program helps stimulate the state’s economy and the local economies where the program is available. It’s an important tool for municipalities to utilize to spur economic development while saving and restoring historic buildings , and it’s the right move to extend this program through Dec. 31, 2021, so these communities can continue to grow and prosper.” The redevelopment program is credited with creating a $10 return for every $1 of credit, and a series of success stories have materialized as a result of the program. For example, the...

SAN ANTONIO - Fire investigators are looking into what caused an old apartment complex to burst into flames Monday afternoon . It happened at the Magnolia Arms apartment building in the 100 block of Magnolia in the Monte Vista Historic District just north of downtown. San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood said the fire broke out in a unit on the first floor, but spread quickly to the second floor and attic. "It did extend up into the attic," Hood said. "So, we had to chase it. These older apartments and homes, (it's) a lot of manual labor because they are built so doggone good so, the fire travels and we're just trying to chase it and figure it out." Hood said they initially responded with a large number of units because Magnolia Arms is an old apartment complex, but he said they also had a large response because of the heat. "The reason we called a second alarm is because of the intense heat," said Hood. "As far as rehabbing our firefighte...

click to enlarge Crews on site at 2447 Cass, which housing preservationists say is slated for demolition. Historic preservationists are keeping a watchful eye on three brick multi- level buildings that stand in the shadow of the Little Caesars Arena after getting word last week that the Ilitch family- owned Olympia Development had planned to demolish them without permission. The company’s contractors had previously obtained demolition permits for the more than hundred-year-old buildings, but according to the city's buildings department, the permits are frozen as the city studies whether the buildings are eligible for historic designation. Alarm bells first went off Tuesday when workers in neon shirts and hard hats showed up outside the more than hundred-year-old buildings at Cass Avenue and Henry Street, near Woodward and I-75. With them was a truck printed with the Homrich logo— a company known for its work in demolition and remediation. The activity sparked swif...

Eventually the Civic Arena, which many came to see as a harbinger of the community’s destruction, was torn down and replaced with the modern PPG Paints Arena . Half a block away, the Freedom Corner was dedicated in 2001, commemorating the civil rights leaders of the 1950s and 1960s who sought to maintain the Hill District. It is also a symbolic gateway to the neighborhood. In 2006, a proposal to build a casino in the lower Hill District was overwhelmingly rejected by residents. To this day, the sphere of influence from downtown generally stops at Crawford Street, which for me was a jarring reminder of how ghosts from the past don’t easily dissipate. Though much of Wilson’s Pittsburgh is gone, you could use his words to tour the district. I did so, led by Kimberly C. Ellis, a digital consultant and founder of the preservation- minded Historic Hill Institute , who is also the playwright’s niece. “The neighborhood has changed a lot,” she said, adding that “there is a renewed level of p...

Renovations are complete on 113 units at the sprawling Billings Forge complex , where tenants returned to find fresh paint , new appliances and soaring windows. The monthslong effort to upgrade the apartments, hallways and lobby in the former mill building on Broad Street concluded this year. Residents who had relocated temporarily were able to move back home last winter. Some who occupied older units moved into new ones. New kitchens, bathrooms, doors and windows were installed in the apartments, and modern appliances were added. New flooring was laid in the hallways, and the lobby received a face-lift. The $19. 8 million project , backed by a mix of state funds, federal and state tax credits , low income historic tax credits and aid from the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority , took about 19 months to finish. The mixed- income complex is 95 percent full, officials said, and is in the process of accepting new tenants. One hundred and two of its units are deemed “affordable hou...

San Francisco is celebrating the Summer of Love’s 50th anniversary. Most of the celebrants are probably dead and buried by now, especially its high priests like Allen Ginsburg who passed into Eternity in the dingy East Village , Timothy Leary, Jerry Garcia, Emmet Grogan of the Diggers (remember them). In truth, there hasn’t been much of a to-do about the historic occasion. Today’s “with it” residents of the Bay Area live in the moment. Vintage refers to their last but one smart phone; antique is their pre-updated software from Microsoft. The “Summer Of Love” – if they can recognize the name at all – belongs to the Neolithic Age or whenever it was that the skies were filled with flying dinosaurs instead of Amazon delivery drones . Only the De Young Museum has done its civic duty in bowing to the past. A mile away from the Haight-Ashby, they have organized a nostalgic exhibition that features the vivid psychedelic posters from Bill Graham’s Fillmore Ballroom concerts and the accoutre...
