Teresa Graham+FollowHumboldt Park neighbors rally to save St. MarkSt. Mark Church in Humboldt Park is at a crossroads, and neighbors aren’t staying quiet. With the historic church and rectory up for sale, many fear they’ll be replaced by pricey new housing, erasing a piece of local history and Puerto Rican heritage.
