The Preston Bradley Center is a nationally registered historic building in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Its creators designed the site as a center for arts and culture. The building was constructed in 1925, and designed by British-American architect J.E.O. Pridmore.[1] In 2000 the building was placed on the Federal Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.[2] In 2015, the City of Chicago began the process of designating the Preston Bradley Center as a historic landmark. It is named after Preston Bradley, a pastor in Chicago.[3] The landmark was occupied by Peoples Church in 1926, then sold to the Chicago orthopedist Daniel Ivankovich in 2022.[4] [5] [6] Two of the building's most important interior rooms are the auditorium, which has two balconies, and a mural by Chicago artist Louis Grell; and Mason Hall, adorned with artwork suggesting Bradley's ties to the masons.
