Preservation Commission Meeting 6-9-2026

The City of Evanston Preservation Commission held a meeting on June 9, 2026, focusing primarily on historic preservation projects within local historic districts. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of certificates of appropriateness for several construction projects: a one-story addition and new three-car garage at 1120 Asbury Avenue, a 10-panel solar array installation at 1133 Judson Avenue, and a shed dormer addition at 1319 Church Street. The commission reviewed architectural plans, materials, and compliance with applicable preservation standards before unanimously approving these projects. Additionally, an initial presentation was made regarding a proposed fire stair and elevator tower addition to a historic Northwestern University building at 1800 Sheridan Road, with feedback provided but no approval sought at this meeting. The commission also acknowledged the contributions of a departing member and discussed ongoing preservation initiatives. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the meeting involved detailed review and approval of construction and renovation projects impacting historic properties.
