The recently restored Ramova Theater complex in Bridgeport would be designated as an official Chicago landmark under a proposal introduced to City Council today by Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Located at 3508-18 S. Halsted St., the Ramova complex includes a former Spanish Baroque movie house that dates to 1929 and a two-story commercial building that dates to 1912.

The properties were joined through a recent $38 million renovation by Our Revival Chicago that includes a live musical hall, banquet space, brewery and restaurant.

The landmark designation would protect all exterior elevations of the complex, including the theater's blade sign and marquee.
