The Illinois Statewide Preservation Conference will take place June 14-16, 2007. This three-day event is packed with educational sessions that appeal to historic preservationists from various disciplines. Richard Longstreth, a highly respected expert on American architectural history and director of the graduate program in Historic Preservation at George Washington University, will present this year’s keynote address.
Tours will include Jackson Park - site of Erik Larson’s novel Devil in the White City, Gothic Revival university architecture, and seminal examples of Early Modernism by architects Pond & Pond, Barry Byrne and Frank Lloyd Wright. For attendees interested in the preservation of Mid-Century Modern architecture, a special "Recent Past" track has been coordinated as part of the program.
Conference headquarters will be located on the University of Chicago campus in the Hyde Park-Kenwood National Register District. Lectures will take place in the new graduate school of business, which was designed by Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly and completed in 2004.
