The nonprofit organization has been putting out the list of what it calls imminently threatened historic buildings and community assets since 2002, in hopes of saving them from demolition.

First on this year's list is the Delaware Building, which has stood for more than 150 years at the northeast corner of Randolph and Dearborn streets. Preservation Chicago noted that the building, originally known as the Bryant Block, is one of only a few buildings still standing from the early downtown reconstruction period in the wake of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
