I hate this fad, it’s so architecturally and aesthetically tasteless.

7 Most Stunning Chicago Landmarks—Including a South Side White Castle
Did you know that Chicago is home to 498 official landmarks? From the city’s northern edge to the Far South Side, Chicago is dotted with historic official sites, many of which are open to the public.
There’s a landmark located in a majority of the 77 neighborhoods (54, to be exact), and all of them are formally protected from demolition. From libraries and sacred sites to theaters, private homes and even a handful of architecturally significant firehouses, Chicago’s long list of landmarks all have "a special historical, community, architectural or aesthetic interest or value to the City of Chicago and its citizens," according to the Chicago Landmarks Ordinance, adopted in 1968.
Whether you missed the free architectural fair Open House Chicago or want to learn more about the city’s rich history of landmarked buildings, there’s plenty to discover. We recommend checking out nonprofit Preservation Chicago’s Landmark Designation Report for a thorough and well-researched deep dive, plus an easy-to-use map. But with nearly 500 officially landmarked sites, where does one begin?
