Review: Paramount Room
Earlier this year, Chicagoist wondered if 2006 would be a bad year for architecture. Well, it’s not getting much better. The Landmarks Preservation Council of Illinois released its annual list of the state’s 10 most-endangered historic places today, and this year, there’s 11. The Pilgrim Baptist Church received a “special 11th designation because of the challenging nature of its proposed preservation plans.” 
The list is released in hopes of generating support for the preservation of endangered buildings. Others on the list:
• Pickford Theater Building, 3459 S. Michigan Avenue
• Three religious structures on the 3400 to 3700 blocks of W. Douglas – two former synagogues and the former Hebrew Theological College
• Westinghouse High School, 3301 W. Franklin

A great book on Chicago Architecture is
Chicago's Old Houses: Lore and Legend by Jack Simmerling.
Jack is still around and is an accomplished landscape painter. He knows more about Chicago Architecture than all of us combined.
(HINT Chicagoist interview HINT)
Where can I find more info about landscape painter, Jack Simmerling?
