Four suburban sites listed among most endagered historic locations in Illinois
Four suburban sites are among nine historic places in Illinois considered most at risk in a preservation group's latest list of endangered locations.
This year's list includes the Alexander Brothers Blacksmith Shop in Geneva, Oak Cottage in Naperville, the Baxter International headquarters in Deerfield and Richmond's historic wooden bridge. The entire list is available at Landmarks.org. Bridge Industrial purchased the 101-acre property earlier this year and plans to demolish the existing buildings and replace them with warehouse logistics facilities.
The Alexander Brothers Blacksmith Shop sits on the former Mill Race Inn property in Geneva. - Brian Hill | Staff Photographer, 2020 Geneva The Alexander Brothers Blacksmith Shop is technically on the list for the second time. "We see a new threat, although with many of the same characteristics as the original one," she said."It's very illustrative of the fact that you can save a historic site once and that in no way means that it was saved forever."
"They provide important context for Greene Valley's origins as an early Naperville homestead, and they really go together," Parzen said of the cottage and barn."If you remove Oak Cottage, not only do you remove an important piece of cultural heritage from the landscape, but you diminish Greene Barn's ability to tell the story by itself."
