Brian Palm is fighting a battle against time: He's trying to photodocument as many historical buildings as possible before they're demolished to make way for new high-rises and condoliths in such neighborhoods as Roscoe Village and the Near West Side. His efforts have saved at least one building, and hopes are that more will be saved from the wrecking ball as their beauty and architectural importance is realized. (Thanks, Pete!)
