Renovated Ramova Theater Named City Landmark

The recently restored Ramova Theater complex in Bridgeport was designated as an official Chicago landmark by City Council today.

Located at 3508-18 S. Halsted St., the Ramova complex includes a former Spanish Baroque movie house that dates to 1929 and a two-story commercial building that dates to 1912. The properties were joined through a $38 million, City-supported renovation by Our Revival Chicago that includes a live musical hall, banquet space, brewery and restaurant.

The landmark designation protects all exterior elevations of the complex, including the theater's blade sign and marquee.
