Epworth United Methodist Church on North Kenmore Avenue was recently sold. The 130-year-old campus was slated for redevelopment and the owners had applied for a demolition permit.
Alderman Harry Osterman of the 48th Ward says the application was withdrawn after he initiated a process to get the church landmark status.
