To Educate about, Preserve and Beautify
our Historic Neighborhood
Are you Square Aware?
LSP has organized Pillars & Porticos, a self-guided tour of historic Logan Square. Become more Square Aware as you walk, bike or drive our neighborhood guided by original, in-depth research and writing. Many current and historical photos make it equally valuable to read right at home.
While you are out, look for the Square Aware posters around the neighborhood and test your knowledge!

Comfort Station
Comfort Station is a turn-of-the-century structure turned multidisciplinary arts space in the heart of Chicago’s Logan Square. Originally a shelter for trolley riders in the early 1900s, the building was eventually defunct and was used to store the city’s lawn equipment for decades. The space was adopted and restored in 2010 by Logan Square Preservation and opened as its current incarnation as a community-focused art space in 2011.
Annual Preservation Award
Each December, Logan Square Preservation presents an award to the best preservation project for that year.
