Bronzeville, Englewood churches get grants from Landmarks Illinois
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Some big checks are making their way to collection plates at three historic South Side churches.
They are Bronzeville's Monumental Baptist Church, built in 1899. Mount Pisgah Church in Bronzeville, which was built in 1912, and Canaan Baptist Church in Englewood, which dates back to 1905.
They're each getting a $2,500 matching grant from Landmarks Illinois. Those funds will be used to make repairs.
