Evanston Now Church attorney says the building doesn't have enough architectural significance to be a landmark. The Second Church of Christ, Scientist in Evanston. Despite a plea from the Church not to do so, Evanston’s Preservation Commission voted 7-0 Monday night to recommend landmark status for the Second Church of Christ, Scientist. The final landmark decision for the 1946-vintage building at 2715 Hurd Ave. in Northwest Evanston is now up to City Council. Bernard Citron, attorney for the Church and also a former architect, told the preservation panel that the building, which was supposedly designed by famed Evanston architect Lawrence Perkins, does not have enough historic significance to merit landmarking.
