CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago has a new landmark.
City Council made the designation official for Bridgeport's Ramova Theatre.
The space on 35th and Halsted streets includes s a former Spanish Baroque movie house that dates back to 1929 and a commercial building dating back to 1912.
The properties were joined together with a $38 million, city-supported renovation that includes a live music venue, new brewery, and restaurant. The Ramova reopened last year.
The landmark designation protects all exterior elevations of the complex, including the theater's blade sign and marquee.
