Are any buildings saved from Chicago's Demolition Delay hold list?

Click here to view the Chicago Demolition Delay hold listing.

Notice on this list that it does not appear any buildings are saved that are placed on the demolition hold list-either from 2005 or 2006....several older listings are still on review, but the great majority had their holds released. Finally, here are the primary wreckers of our cities historic structures (according to the demolition delay):

Leeway Wrecking
National Wrecking Company

Midwest Wrecking
