And, speaking of Most Endangered Places in the last two posts, Route 66 made the Landmarks Illinois list.
APRIL 6-- Route 66 is listed among the Most Endangered Historic Places in Illinois by Landmarks Illinois in their annual list. This is not because of preservation and interest of the Mother Road in the state, but, it needs to be permanently designated as a National Historic Trail.
Unfortunately, many historic motels and restaurants have been shuttered or torn down.
Some other endangered Illinois sites:
Singer Pavilion in Chicago
Ryan's Round Barn in Henry County
McKee House in Lombard
Norway Temperance Hall in Norway
Federal Historic Tax Credit
O'Hara Rotunda Building at O'Hara Airport in Chicago
James R. Thompson Center in Chicago

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
