Preservationists' quest to save parts of the former Michael Reese Hospital campus seemed improbable at first. But it's beginning to look like a serious challenge to Mayor Daley's desire for demolition for the sake of the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Two independent sources said Tuesday that the Chicago 2016 organizing committee has held discussions over plans that would preserve some structures on the campus. One proposal is expected to be submitted within days and will come from preservation activists. Another, the sources said, is being drafted by Chicago architectural firm DeStefano & Partners.Chicago Sun-Times
