From the Feb. 27, 2015, Chicago Tribune "Their Place in History" by Duaa Eldeib.
14 buildings, 8 historic districts and 2 archaeological locations added to NRHP.
That would be the National Register of Historic Places. These would be places worthy of preservation.
"From a village hall that represents a town's promise of racial integration to a railroad depot in Springfield thgat served as the backdrop for Abraham Lincoln's farewell address
Here are the new places:
CHICAGO COLLAR COUNTIES
DAVID HALL HOUSE, Lake Villa (This one is near me.) Designed by Chicago architect Ralph Wesley Varney and is a melding of early 20th-centurry revival and art deco styles. Art deco rarely used in residential architecture.
ELGIN DOWNTOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT-- This area served as the city's first major business center, from early shops of the 19th century to department and chain stores of the 20th century. It was also the transportation and government heart of the city. (In other words, the old downtown.)
Something Old. --Cooter
