@TroyMeaz I would not have been that nice when I went out and came home expecting to eat my food that is in my room and someone had gone in my room and eaten it
@presfutures How can they destroy this incredible building? It's like throwing a Jackson Pollock in the garbage just because you don't understand it's value.
At Aggregate, we admire Brutalism. In February, Josh was involved in @landmarksill Skyline Council’s Heartbomb event for Otto Stark’s Will County Courthouse in Joliet. We strongly support the adaptive reuse of existing buildings, regardless of whether they are Brutal or not.
The Joliet Historic Preservation Commission is considering whether to recommend the former Will County Courthouse be designated a local historic landmark, which would delay the planned demolition of the vacant building. https://t.co/zd1Vymf3PL
@presfutures Enthusiastic congratulations, @presfutures!! What an accomplishment! You all worked very hard to make this case and @landmarksill applauds and celebrates with you.
The listing does not protect the building from demolition, but does provide incentives for adaptive re-use. Preservation Futures and the Courthouse Preservation Partnership are working on local landmark status in the City of Joliet; updates here:

This process was supported by @landmarksill and the Courthouse Preservation Partnership and specifically by Hudson Hollister, who’s local leadership has been transformative in the effort to save this building from the wrecking ball! https://t.co/EgaSF7TEAq
We’re delighted to announce that the Will County Courthouse in Joliet has become the first #brutalist building in Illinois listed to the National Register of Historic Places!
