Landmarks Illinois recently awarded the National Museum of Gospel Music a $5,000 Preservation Heritage Fund grant for restoration efforts at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Chicago. The Church in Chicago (originally Kehilath Anshe Ma’ariv Synagogue) suffered a catastrophic fire in 2006 leaving it extensively damaged. A significant portion of the Louis Sullivan ornamentation and a few other masonry elements were saved. In addition to the building serving as an example of Adler and Sullivan’s ecclesiastical work, its preservation is historically significant as the home of Pilgrim Baptist Church, one of the nation’s most important African-American congregations and the birthplace of gospel music.

Pilgrim Baptist as the owner and the National Museum of Gospel Music as the future tenant have raised roughly $2.7 million toward the $3.5 million needed for the restoration of the structure’s exterior. Landmarks Illinois’ grant will be used to conduct an environmental study of the site, which is required for future federal funding.
