Page 3 of 40 Historic Preservation 2 April 16, 2026 D. OLD BUSINESS - None E. NEW BUSINESS 1. Landmark Alteration Preliminary Approval Request - 684 Highland Avenue - Staff Liaison Frahm provided an overview of the property, noting it was built in 1926 in the Tudor Revival style and is identified as a contributing structure, representative of the architectural character of its era. The homeowners, Bill and Rachel Ford, are proposing a 275-square-foot addition at the rear of the home. The project includes a vertical addition over the existing rear footprint, as well as the addition of a deck as an accessory structure. Frahm reviewed the proposed elevations, floor plans, and rear yard with the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC), noting that existing windows and doors will be reused where possible. He also explained that the Commission’s primary focus is typically on impacts to the front elevation. In response to a question raised by Commissioner Lemme prior to the meeting, staff confirmed that the front elevation will not be impacted, which is why those images were not included in the application materials. Frahm added that the proposed design respects and maintains the home’s historic architectural features. Commissioner Margetts motioned to grant preliminary approval for the proposed alterations at 684 Highland Avenue, and Commissioner Lemme seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. 2025 Historic Preservation Commission Annual Awards — Staff Liaison Frahm reported that the Historic Preservation Commission received three nominations for the 2025 Annual Awards: 716 Crescent Boulevard, 494 Hill Avenue, and 795 North Park Avenue. He reviewed the award category definitions with those in attendance and noted that the initial submissions included one nomination for Restoration of the Year and two for Remodel of the Year. Frahm presented each nomination to the Commission, including a review of before-and-after photos: 716 Crescent Boulevard – Nominated for Remodel of the Year Homeowner: Mike Wilson Architect: Gerald McManus, Lineworks Contractor: Hummingbird Woodworks 494 Hill Avenue – Nominated for Remodel of the Year Owners: William and Tayler Stogsdill Architect: Julia Smith Contractor: Ligman Construction Group 795 North Park Avenue – Nominated for Restoration of the Year Owners: Scott and Kristin Fischer Page 4 of 40 Historic Preservation 3 April 16, 2026 Architect: Marc Kollias Contractor: Tom Wetmore, Wetmore Construction Following the review, Chairman French recommended reclassifying 494 Hill Avenue from Remodel of the Year to Architectural Details of the Year. The Commission agreed with this recommendation. Commissioner Lemme then motioned to approve the following 2025 award recipients: • 716 Crescent Boulevard – Remodel of the Year • 494 Hill Avenue – Architectural Details of the Year • 795 North Park Avenue – Restoration of the Year Commissioner Wilson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman French congratulates all award recipients. F. HISTORICAL SOCIETY BUSINESS – Dan Schoeneberg, Executive Director of the Glen Ellyn Historical Society, provided several updates on upcoming programs and initiatives. Upcoming events include: April 28–May 2: Vintage Market, a Historical Society fundraiser, held daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. May 9: A presentation by Terry Lynch on John Adams. Late May: A historical portrayal by Leslie Goddard as Abigail Adams (date and final title to be confirmed). During the discussion, Commissioner Margetts suggested documenting the rear of Glenbard West High School through photographs prior to construction of the new building addition, to preserve its historical record. Schoeneberg acknowledged the suggestion. Commissioner Margetts also shared a related update, noting that a local contact with access to a sawmill was able to salvage wood from trees that were removed on the Glenbard West property. This individual is exploring collaboration with Glenbard West’s art department to repurpose the wood into student-designed projects. He emphasized that the material will be preserved and, in some form, returned to the high school as part of its ongoing story. G. CHAIRMAN REPORT – No report H. TRUSTEE’S REPORT – Trustee Simon reported that the Village Board approved the matching grant incentive for the property at 417 Melrose Avenue. Page 5 of 40 Historic Preservation 4 April 16, 2026 I. STAFF REPORT – Jordan Frahm provided several updates. He reported on a Historic Preservation Incentive Program application discussed with a homeowner in February for a residing project; however, upon further review, it was determined that the siding had already been installed and was not accurately represented in the application. Records indicate the permit for the work was issued in October 2025. Frahm explained that, per program requirements, work must not begin until funding is approved by the Village Board. He asked whether the Historic Preservation Commission would consider the request retroactively, noting that the property is identified as a contributing structure in one of the surveys. Chairman French responded that, due to the project timeline and the fact that the work has already been completed, the application is not eligible for consideration. Frahm also provided an update on the ongoing zoning code update process, noting that an online survey was distributed to residents to gather input. Approximately 375 responses were received. J. ADJOURNMENT– Commissioner Margetts motioned to adjourn the meeting and Commissioner Lemme seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 7:53 p.m. Submitted by Elisa Pollina, Recording Secretary Reviewed by Jordan Frahm, Staff Liaison Page 6 of 40 Glen Ellyn Historic Meeting 5/21/2026 7:00 PM Preservation Commission Department: Community Development 535 Duane Street Department Head: Jennifer Henaghan Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 Category: Public Hearing Prepared By: Jordan Frahm AGENDA ITEM (ID DOC ID: 2026-382 # 2026-382) Village Landmark Nomination - 364 N. Main Street, "The Voss Bungalow" Statement of the Issue: The owners of the property at 364 N. Main Street, Timothy and Laurie Voss, have submitted a Village Landmark nomination application for their home. The bungalow was built in 1912 and is located on the west side of Main Street between Phillips and Ridgewood Avenues. Per Section 2-13-3 of the Village Code, a property may be designated as a Landmark designation if it is at least 50 years old and at least two of the following conditions exist: a. It be listed on the National or State Register of Historic Places; or b. Its integrity of location, design, materials and workmanship make it worthy of preservation or restoration; or c. Its value as an example of the architectural, cultural, economic, historic, social or other aspect of the heritage of the Village of Glen Ellyn, the State of Illinois, or the United States; or d. Its certain distinguishing characteristic of architecture is inherently valuable for the study of a time period, type of property, method of construction or use of indigenous materials; or e. Its location as a site of an important archaeological, significant historic, or natural event; or f. Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to architectural, cultural, economic, historic, social or other aspect of the development of the Village of Glen Ellyn, the State of Illinois, or the United States; or g. It be one of the few remaining examples of a particular architectural style; or h. Its exemplification of an architectural type or style distinguished by innovation, rarity, uniqueness or overall quality of design, detail, materials or craftsmanship; or i. Its identification as the work of an architect, designer, engineer or builder whose individual work is significant in the history or development of the Village of Glen Ellyn, the State of Illinois, or the United States; or j. Its representation of an architectural, cultural, economic, historic, social or other theme expressed through distinctive areas, districts, places, buildings, structures, works of art or other objects that may or may not be contiguous; or k. Its unique location or distinctive physical appearance or presence representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood, community or the Village. Page 7 of 40 Analysis:A Historic Designation Planning Report (attached) has been created in accordance with Section 2-13-5 of the Village Code. In their application, the homeowners indicated these criteria as to why 364 N. Main Street (known as the Voss Bungalow) merits consideration as a Village Landmark: • Its integrity of location, design, materials and workmanship make it worthy of preservation or restoration, • Its value as an example of the architectural, cultural, economic, historic, social or other aspect of the heritage of the Village of Glen Ellyn, the State of Illinois, or the United States, • Its certain distinguishing characteristic of architecture is inherently valuable for the study of a time period, type of property, method of construction or use of indigenous materials, and • Its unique location or distinctive physical appearance or presence representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood, community or the Village. The application states that the home is “An early 20th century example of one of the few remaining full-height, rock-faced cement block “mail order” bungalows, located near a prominent entry point to the Main Street Business District. The full-width cedar porch offers modest classical details such as doric-order columns.” Ian Dawson, a local researcher and acquaintance of the applicant, has corresponded with Village Staff regarding the property and provided research documents that include a variety of potential matches for kit homes. Sears Roebuck Model No. 400 and No. 401 are comparable as they are representative of the 1912 model years or the Sears Starlight (1913 model year); however, the homes in the advertisements seen by Village staff do not depict concrete blocks. Concrete blocks were notably used in kit homes, made popular by technology like the Sears “Wizard” Block-Making Machine. The home at 364 N. Main Street does not feature a Glen Ellyn Historical Society Plaque per Village Records nor the application. However, the home is featured in the 2010 Granacki Architectural Resource Survey as a Significant property in the bungalow style. Budget Impact: Contribution to Strategic Plan Action Requested: Conduct the public hearing and deliberate on the merits of 364 N. Main Street as a Landmark, and make a recommendation to the Village Board to approve or not approve the subject property for designation as a Village Landmark.

Main Street – Landmark Planning Report Historic Designation Planning Report: This Report is provided in accordance with Section 2- 13-5 of the Village Code which requires a report on planning considerations prior to the designation of any district, place, building, structure, work of art, or object as a Glen Ellyn Landmark. Location/Request: The property at 364 N. Main Street is located on the west side of Main Street between Phillips and Ridgewood Avenues. The current property owners are Timothy and Laurie Voss, who has submitted the application for the landmark designation of the property in order to preserve the existing home. Existing Structure: The following historical and architectural details about the Voss Bungalow, built in 1912 at 364 N. Main Street, were included in the application submitted by the homeowners. The applicant indicated these criteria for why 364 N. Main Street merits consideration as a Village Landmark: • Its integrity of location, design, materials and workmanship make it worthy of preservation or restoration; • Its value as an example of the architectural, cultural, economic, historic, social or other aspect of the heritage of the Village of Glen Ellyn, the State of Illinois, or the United States; • Its certain distinguishing characteristic of architecture is inherently valuable for the study of a time period, type of property, method of construction or use of indigenous materials; • Its unique location or distinctive physical appearance or presence representing an established and familiar visual feature of a neighborhood, community or the Village. “An early 20th century example of one of the few remaining full-height, rock-faced cement block “mail order” bungalows, located near a prominent entry point to the Main Street Business District. The full-width cedar porch offers modest classical details such as doric-order columns.” Ian Dawson, a local research and acquaintance of the applicant, has briefly corresponded with Village Staff regarding the property and provided some research documents that include a variety of potential matches for kit homes. Sears Roebuck Model No. 400 and No. 401 are compelling as they Page 10 of 40 364 N. Main Street Planning Report Historic Preservation Commission May 21, 2026 are representative of 1912 model years or the Sears Starlight (1913 model year) – however, the homes in the advertisements seen by Village Staff do not depict concrete blocks. Concrete blocks were notably used in kit homes, made popular by technology like the Sears “Wizard” Block-Making Machine. Relationship to Comprehensive Plan: The 2023 Glen Ellyn Comprehensive Plan details the many ways that historic character is featured across Glen Ellyn, noting that over 40 individual properties have been designated local landmarks. The Village maintains one residential and two downtown commercial historic districts and is sensitive to the Village’s historic character when considering new developments. The Comprehensive Plan describes the historic character as interwoven with local identity; and also directs the HPC to encourage further historic preservation in the community by means of promoting local landmarking, placement of properties on the National Register of Historic Places, and advertisement of State property tax freezes for restoration projects. The designation of the home at 364 N. Main Street as a historic landmark would be consistent with the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan to preserve historic neighborhoods. Zoning: The subject site is located in an R2 – Single Family Residential District. The property is currently developed with a single-family home. The properties in the surrounding area are also zoned R2 – Single Family Residential District. The surrounding lots are developed with single- family homes. Effect on the Neighborhood: According to the documents reviewed and the above report, we do not believe that there will be any negative effects on the neighborhood resulting from such a designation. GEHS or Architectural Resource Survey Status: The home at 364 N. Main Street does not feature a Glen Ellyn Historical Society Plaque per Village Records nor the application, however, the home is featured in the 2010 Granacki Architectural Resource Survey as a Significant property in the bungalow style. Planning Consideration: A review of the information available in the Village files, the Comprehensive Plan, and the Zoning Code indicate that the home is appropriate for designation as a Glen Ellyn Landmark for the following reasons: 1. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that historic properties such as 364 N. Main Street contribute to the character of Glen Ellyn because of its age, design, and construction. 2. The property is consistent with the zoning classification for the area. 3. The structure is harmonious with the surrounding neighborhood. 4. This structure is largely the same as when originally constructed and it represents a well- preserved interpretation of a style prominent during that era, with historical provenance as a cement block “mail order” home. This “Sears homes” or “Kit homes” receive much fanfare, especially in Chicagoland where we have a higher concentration of these important relics in American homebuilding and American railway history as so many of these companies were Page 11 of 40 364 N. Main Street Planning Report Historic Preservation Commission May 21, 2026 founded in Bay City, Michigan (Aladdin Company and others) and Chicago, Illinois (Sears, Montgomery Ward, Harris Brothers). Requested Action: It is requested that the Historic Preservation Commission conduct a public hearing during its regular meeting on May 21, 2026, regarding the home at 364 N. Main Street; and to make a recommendation to the Village Board to approve or not approve the subject property for designation as a Village Landmark.

In order to be considered for the grant program, the home must be determined to meet the qualification standards outlined in Section III of the Historic Preservation Incentive Program approved by the Village Board of Trustees on December 8, 2025. A vote of the Historic Preservation Commission affirming qualification is required before the grant submittal can be considered. Analysis: 684 Highland Avenue was designated as a Village Landmark property in 2013 due to its excellent example of the architectural style in which it was built and for the historical significance in the early suburbanization of Glen Ellyn in the 1920s (particularly in the neighborhood between Maple Street and Linden Street). This home would fit the criteria for inclusion on the qualified property list. Budget Impact: Contribution to Strategic Plan Action Requested: Review the criteria as expressed in the policy documents and determine whether 684 Highland Avenue qualify for the Historic Preservation Incentive program.

The 1926/1927 brick bungalow was made a Village Landmark in 2013 and features Tudor accents and stucco siding. It was named a Village Landmark due to its excellent example of the architectural style in which it was built and for the historical significance in the early suburbanization of Glen Ellyn in the 1920s particularly in the neighborhood between Maple Street and Linden Street. Analysis: In the April meeting, the homeowners received preliminary approval for a landmark alteration for an addition in the rear yard. The Ford family have returned to ask for an update to this proposal in the form of a rehabilitation project. Per the application, the updated proposal "focuses on replacing the front second floor exterior and dormers with stucco and trim that maintains the historic scale, texture, and visual rhythm of the original second-floor façade while ensuring long-term preservation of the structure beneath. This approach will ensure the improvements to the rear of the home blend seamlessly with the rest of the home. "There will be no alteration to the primary brick façade or original front-facing architectural features." Per the application narrative, the project will seek to retain the historic massing and street presence of the home, preserve original materials where intact, focus on compatible replacement materials to honor the traditional elements and extend the life of the home by providing long-term durability. Budget Impact: Contribution to Strategic Plan Action Requested: Consider the grant application materials submitted by the applicant and make a recommendation to the Village Board for grant approval. Attachments: Page 25 of 40 1. Historic Preservation Incentive Application 684 Highland 2. 684 Highland Estimate Page 26 of 40 Historic Preservation Incentive Application Property: 684 Highland Avenue Owner: Bill & Rachel Ford Year Built: 1927 1) Overview of Historical Importance of the Home Our home is a 1927 brick bungalow located within the Glen Ellyn residential district and is representative of the early-20th-century Chicago bungalow architecture. The home retains original defining features, including its masonry façade and roofline proportions. This style and era of housing reflects a significant period of the Village’s growth during the 1920s, when modest but architecturally expressive homes were constructed for middle-class families seeking both permanence and craftsmanship. Homes of this type contribute meaningfully to the streetscape through consistent scale, materials, and historic character. Since purchasing the home in 2023, we have undertaken several interior renovations to modernize mechanical systems while preserving original interior elements where possible. Our goal as stewards of this property is to ensure that exterior improvements maintain and enhance the historic character of the home so it continues to contribute to the architectural integrity of the neighborhood for decades to come. 2) Description of Proposed Improvements We are planning a rear addition project designed to improve functionality for long-term occupancy. My husband and I attended the April Historical Preservation Board Meeting and after receiving encouragement from the board to apply for the incentive program, we’d like to do include an exterior rehabilitation of the front 2nd floor façade and dormers, preserving the historic street-facing character of the home. The overall project includes: • A rear addition that will transform a first-floor bedroom into an en suite primary, add a powder room, relocate laundry to the first floor, and extend the kitchen • Construction of a rear deck • The above has received preliminary approval from the board • In addition to maintaining the second floor tudor-cladding on the rear addition, we’d like to pursue rehabilitation of second-floor Tudor cladding in the front and dormers. Page 27 of 40 Our updated proposal focuses on replacing the front second floor exterior and dormers with stucco and trim that maintains the historic scale, texture, and visual rhythm of the original second-floor façade while ensuring long-term preservation of the structure beneath. This approach will ensure the improvements to the rear of the home blend seamlessly with the rest of the home. There will be no alteration to the primary brick façade or original front-facing architectural features. 3) Overview of How Proposed Improvements Meet Preservation Standards The project has been designed with principles of compatibility and minimal impact to historic character. • Retention of historic massing and street presence: The addition is fully at the rear of the structure and not visible from the public right-of-way. The original roofline and front façade remain unchanged. • Preservation of original materials where intact: The historic brick exterior and front architectural elements will remain untouched. • Compatible replacement of materials: The second-floor front and dormer replacement uses stucco and tudor elements with similar scale and texture to the existing traditional Tudor wood elements. • Long-term durability: The replacement will extend the life of the home by mitigating any water infiltration issues that could threaten the underlying historic structure. Overall, the improvements maintain the historic appearance of the home while addressing material failure in a manner consistent with preservation standards for rehabilitation. 4) Relevant Experience or Expertise of Contractors The project team includes licensed architects and contractors with experience working on early-20th-century residential properties. The team has supported our desire to maintain the historic character and is prepared to design the additional rehab with sensitivity to historic massing, materials, and neighborhood context. The general contractor has completed multiple renovations and additions to older homes in the Village and surrounding communities and understands the importance of historically compatible additions. All work will follow local historic district guidelines and permitting requirements. (Contractor names, licenses, and example projects can be provided upon request.) 5) Description of Expected Hardships or Difficulties Page 28 of 40 As stewards of a now 100-year-old home, we are committed to preserving its historic character; however, the cost is prohibitive within the scope of our necessary addition project. Our primary hardship is financial: • The addition required to make the home functional for long-term occupancy already represents a significant investment. • Full restoration would add substantial additional cost beyond our means. • The existing second-floor stucco and wood elements cannot be left unaddressed without risking structural damage. Without assistance, we would be forced to defer needed exterior rehabilitation. The preservation incentive program would allow us to complete the exterior rehabilitation concurrently with the addition. Support from the Village would therefore ensure the continued historic contribution of this home to the village and neighborhood.
