The Commission on Chicago Landmarks voted unanimously Thursday to grant preliminary landmark status to a pair of early 20th century skyscrapers slated for demolition by the federal government.
The Century Building, 202 S. State St., built in 1916, architects Holabird and Roche. Consumers Building, 220 S. State St., built in 1913, architects Jenney, Mundie and Jensen.
The GSA is weighing three options for the buildings, she said: one is demolition, another is to take no action, and a third is to allow adaptive reuse if 15 security criteria are met. Typically, landmark approval would prohibit such significant alterations, but the motion adopted by commissioners Thursday states, “The Commission shall have flexibility to allow modifications to the Century Building to accommodate the GSA’s reuse criteria in order that viable reuse of the building can be achieved.”
