Preserving the past and building the future
Part of what makes Evanston special is its historic homes, buildings and its place in Chicago’s north shore community.
SEA strives to keep that place in history current and relevant. To that end, SEA works with the Evanston History Center and other community-based groups to protect traditions, structures and the essentially residential quality of Evanston.
