You could argue, say, that the Bahai Temple should be on the list (other churches did make the list) (or Optima Old Orchard, or something prewar out of Evanston, etc.) -- evidencing a skew to a certain way of looking at our architectural culture. Oh well, lists like this are just fun parlor games, not much more or less than that.
