Historical society seeking donations for renovation

Hi Dan,
I just came across this fascinating piece about the historic Cicero Fire House No. 2 on Chicago Tribune’s website. It’s incredible to see how much history is being uncovered during its restoration. Frank Lipo, who runs the historical society, mentioned that this firehouse, built way back in 1898 at 129 Lake Street, is the oldest public building in Oak Park. Once the renovations wrap up, it’ll become the new headquarters for the historical society.
Frank explained that they’re investing around $600,000 to bring the building back to its original glory, while sneaking in some modern upgrades too. One of their top priorities is restoring the old barn-style front doors to match what they looked like in the past. They’re also planning to create a brick plaza in front, mimicking the spot where fire engines used to leave the station.
During the renovation, workers found some really cool stuff, like two big holes in the ceiling that were used for firemen to slide down poles. There was also horse feed preserved under the second floor, showing where horses were kept to pull early fire wagons. It’s like stepping back in time!
Even though they’ve got some funding from two Illinois Department of Natural Resources grants, totaling almost $200,000, those funds have been suspended for now. So, the historical society has turned to Indiegogo to raise more money. They’re asking for online donations to finish the job, and they’ve set up a page where people can contribute.
If you’re interested in helping out, you can check out their Indiegogo page by visiting http://www.indiegogo.com and searching for “The Historical Society of Oak Park and River Forest.†For more details, head over to http://www.oprfhistory.org.
It’s always amazing to see communities come together to preserve their heritage. Let me know if you’d like to pitch in or if you have any thoughts!
Thanks for sharing this with me,
[Your Name]
