Is there a deadline for the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture to comply and obtain proper permits? Or, will the half-finished cinderblock shell become a semi-permanent monument to hubris?
The cinderblock shell of the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture's proposed archive building in Humboldt Park.
Mary Lu Seidel, director of community engagement with Preservation Chicago, has been pressing the Park District to publicly share a timeline for action. That’s when museum officials, namely President and CEO Billy Ocasio, applied for a state grant to help fund improvements, including what the application says will be a 1,500-square-foot freestanding archive facility needed for storage and to meet accreditation requirements.
“I think the agencies are not talking to each other,” she said. “I think every agency was doing as well as it could with the information it had.” The permit review committee of the Commission on Chicago Landmarks is one of the most exacting bodies around, demanding highly detailed and specific renderings and building plans, Seidel said.
