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.
Get Involved
Activities within LSP are organized under several standing committees. Start with the contacts here to find activities that fit your interests.
Membership
Contact us about Membership
Membership is tasked with engaging existing members, promoting LSP and preservation in the neighborhood community and the City in order to grow our organization.
Outreach and Communications
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.
Contact the Chair – Matt Bergstrom
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.
Contact the Co-Chairs – Kate Paris-Tsan and Bruce Anderson
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.
Beautification
Contact the Chair – OPEN POSITION
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.
Events
Contact the Chair – Marcy Marzuki
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!
