<\/a>5.\u00a0Saint Boniface Church, Chicago, IL<\/h3>\n
Founded:\u00a0<\/strong>1862 Currently\u00a0Status of the building:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n A Building Court hearing regarding the Saint Boniface church and adjoining property was held on July 29th.\u00a0\u00a0At this hearing it was made public that a demolition permit was formally requested by Carefree Development LLC through Ogden Partners.<\/p>\n Carefree told saintbonifaceinfo that the demolition permit was requested so as to prevent the court from entering a default judgment and ordering the property be delivered to a court appointed receiver for demolition. Their application for demolition, Carefree states, serves to delay the demolition of the church and gives them time to negotiate the final acquisition of the property and thereof the development of market rate for sale family housing.<\/p>\n Pictures of Current St Boniface<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Founded:\u00a0<\/strong>1889<\/span> Currently\u00a0Status of the building:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The city ordered the demolition because it was no longer safe, having been abandoned since ’93. The repair of the building to make it safe to use would have costed over 100K. The city opted to demo the building. Fortunately for us, a wonderful photographer captured the inside of the building mid-demolition.<\/p>\n Pictures of Current St Bonaventure<\/strong><\/p>\n
