This building is a cornerstone of the historic district and requires significant attention to address deterioration on the East (Main Street), West (Turner Court), and North elevations. Architectural plans and condition photographs detailing the necessary repairs were prepared by Tassone Architects, Inc. and are included in the meeting packet. The proposed work includes extensive removal and replace- ment of extremely deteriorated brick, stone, gutters, and coping on the building. Representatives from Tassone Architects, Inc. and from Public Works will be present at the meeting to discuss the proposal. The building is of high historical significance to the City. Constructed in 1884 as "Turner Town Hall," it served as the municipality's first Village Hall, housing the police and fire departments and serving as a community hub for over 90 years. It is a distinct example of Italianate architecture and is one of only two properties in West Chicago listed on the National Register of Historic Places. ACTION PROPOSED: Consideration of extensive masonry work at 132 Main Street. ===== PDF PAGE 6 ===== [Extraction: embedded PDF text] TASSONE ARCHITECTS, Inc. 132 Main Street, West Chicago NOTE: Refer to photographs WC-01 through WC-10 for additional information pertaining to all elevations.
