To Educate about, Preserve and Beautify

our Historic Neighborhood

Membership is tasked with engaging existing members, promoting LSP and preservation in the neighborhood community and the City in order to grow our organization. (The Membership committee currently does not have a chairperson.)

Outreach includes initiatives to work with LSP members and the larger Logan Square community in fulfillment of the first pillar of LSP's mission: Educate. Outreach and communication are important to maintaining a sense of place, a key component of the character of Logan Square that makes our neighborhood more than rows of houses and condos. The committee also manages branding and operates LSP's online and social media.

Archival fulfills a key part of the second pillar of LSP's mission: Preserve. The committee acquires and preserves photos, documents, ephemera and all kinds of other artifacts from the history of Logan Square. The committee also maintains an online catalog of our collection.

Preservation & Restoration are the balance of LSP's mission to Preserve. The committee organizes many activities to promote and maintain the historic character and resources of our neighborhood. That includes advocating for historic preservation at community meetings and directly to City officials considering permits and zoning amendments.

The work of the Beautification committee has the most noticeable impact — mostly tree planting — and fulfills the third pillar of LSP's mission: Beautify. Beautification work encompasses all projects that improve the boulevards and the Logan Square neighborhood.

The Events committee helps build our neighborhood community by organizing LSP's events and fundraising. Member meet-ups are a great chance to get to know other preservation-minded neighbors, learn about historic parts of the neighborhood — and have some fun!
