#640 Online: Promontory Point: How to Save the Point

Promontory Point Conservancy works to protect and preserve Promontory Point, Burnham Park, on Chicago’s South Side. For the past 25 years, the Conservancy, a community-led non-profit, has advocated to save the Point’s historic limestone block, stepped-stone revetment and promenade. The Conservancy succeeded in getting the Point listed on the National Register of Historic Places (2018) and designated a Chicago Landmark (2023). Preserving the historic limestone revetment preserves the community that has gathered at the Point for many decades. Public support for a genuine preservation approach to saving the Point is nearly unanimous (99.3%). In fact, survey data shows that the Point de-stigmatizes the South Side and represents who South Siders really are.
