Located just blocks from the vibrant center of the Village of Glen Ellyn, Illinois, this home is part of a community with a rich historical fabric. The owners' wish was to restore the existing craftsman style home, while updating it for the use of their growing family.
Through the use of the home's rich natural materials, detailing, scale and proportion, The Keating Group, P.C., Architecture worked with the owners, and a fine team of construction experts to fulfill the owners' wish.
Historic buildings contribute to a sense of place and tell a community where it came from.
Such buildings should be preserved for their historical significance, their contribution to a sense of place, and as a reminder of where we came from. By caring for the past we are hopefully more poised for the future.
Glen Ellyn Historic Preservation Awards
