Renovation plans revealed for Chicago church

Architects and church leaders have revealed a $37 million plan to rebuild a landmark 1890 church on Chicago's South Side that played a major role in the development of gospel music.

The plan was unveiled Saturday at Pilgrim Baptist Church. The church was destroyed in January 2006 in an accidental fire. The building was designed by the famous architectural firm headed by Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler.

Plans include replicating the original church and adding two new buildings, a social services building and a cultural center.

Organizers say construction of the new church depends on fundraising efforts. There is no set finish date for the new structures. Since the fire the congregation has been meeting at a community center across the street.
