Like being at an outdoor curated exhibit. I loved seeing the properties in one viewing and learning more about the architecture.
It is easiest to navigate when you use the folded map icon and then press the numbers for each stop to see the photos and learn the stories.
I was surprised there was a house in Hinsdale with a tower tall enough to see the city skyline, a pair of homes on Washington st built for brothers and the impact that the Great Depression had on the town’s architecture.
