Anna Weaver should be applauded, not reprimanded, for her great innovative work on helping to save Chicago’s historical architecture that is being lost and plundered at a staggering rate. She is setting a new standard for the preservation movement in Chicago. Ms. Weaver has helped the Tree Studios and Medinah Temple fight to exist, selflessly, as all her hard work is on a volunteer basis. The Tree Studios have been up for landmark decision since 1980.
This new status for the famous Tree Studios/Medinah block is due to Ms. Weaver. Now the United States and the World are watching over us. She is a heroine in a time when it is becoming impossible for a city to stand up against developers, politicians, and a high-paid lawyer who are blatantly “selling out” and “cashing in” on our architectural treasures one by one until they are all gone or their facades are pathetically left to hang on a brand-new nondescript tower. Chicago’s architecture is history!
