Urban View, a Spanish public company, has applied for a permit to convert an 1890s Romanesque Revival church in Prospect Heights into eight apartment units. The proposal includes raising the building's height by 15 feet and adding another floor, while it is unclear how much of the original structure will be preserved. The church's existing rear extension has been approved for demolition. Urban View acquired the property for $5.6 million, historically owned by various religious institutions. The church was originally designed in the early 1890s by J.W. Bailey.
Urban View's proposed conversion of a late 19th-century Romanesque Revival church into apartments hinges on city approval, although plans for maintaining original structure remain unclear.
The modification would involve adding an extra floor to the church, increasing its height by 15 feet, while details on the preservation of the church's structure are not disclosed.
