The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has a rich legacy, stretching back almost 150 years. On these pages you can trace the history of how the U of I was founded on the “treeless prairie”, and how the face of campus has changed as the University grew from a single building to the powerhouse of today. So, please join them in recounting the history of a great institution.

The Landmarks Preservation Council of Illinois is the state’s leading voice for historic preservation. From the rubble of the 1971 demolition of Adler and Sullivan’s masterpiece old Chicago Stock Exchange Building, LPCI rose to become a 2000 member statewide organization. In the more than 30 years since its founding, LPCI has gone on to save countless architectural and historic treasures throughout the state of Illinois.

The organization has established a variety of programs that continue to facilitate, educate, and promote historic preservation. LPCI’s founding mission was to stop the demolition of significant buildings in downtown Chicago. Its mission today is the same, only broader – the scope and geography now embrace architecturally and historically significant archeological sites, structures, and historic districts in all the cities, towns and rural areas of Illinois. (PACA is a member of LPCI.)
