    Village of Oak Park Lake Street Corridor Architectural Historical Survey Prepared by: Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. 330 Pfingsten Road Northbrook, Illinois 60062 (847) 272-7400 WJE Project No. 2005.4108 2 November 2006 Architectural Historical Survey Village of Oak Park Lake Street Corridor 2 FINAL FOR HPC REVIEW 2 November 2006 Village of Oak Park Lake Street Corridor Architectural Historical Survey PROJECT BACKGROUND In summer 2006, the Village of Oak Park began a planning and development study of the eastern Lake Street Corridor. The intent of the study is to solicit community input on the current status and perceived needs of the neighborhood; to provide a land use plan to guide future development on Lake Street; to assess the economic marketability of the Lake Street corridor; to promote mixed uses and pedestrian- oriented development; to assess parking needs and traffic; to identify economic limitations and funding strategies; to develop a character plan to guide future architectural and infrastructure design on the corridor; to identify zoning and regulatory changes needed to support desired development; and to identify buildings with historic character and significance that should be preserved during future redevelopment. This architectural historical survey addresses the last of these various goals established by the Village. Most but not all of the study area is included within the Ridgeland-Oak Park Historic District. The study area includes numerous contributing buildings for the district, as well as non-contributing contemporary structures. This architectural historical survey report has been developed as part of the overall planning study for the Lake Street corridor by Solomon Cordwell Buenz, Chicago, Illinois, scheduled for completion in December 2006.

  • Oak Park & River Forest History
    Oak Park Tours - Oak Park & River Forest History Early History The earliest settlements in America were along waterways that provided natural routes for travel. The Oak Park-River Forest area was part of the settlement phase that followed. The inducements were high ground (it was the first ridge at the edge of the swamp around Fort Dearborn), groves of hardwood trees, and a location on an old Indian trail from east to west. We now call that trail Lake Street. In 1831, two Chicago men erected a steam sawmill on the Aux Plaines (now the Des Plaines) River near Lake Street so the hardwood they cut could be moved easily to Chicago’s construction sites. This mill was said to be the only one within 20 miles of the city. Joseph Kettlestrings, a Yorkshireman, traveled here in 1833 from England via Cincinnati, Ohio, with his wife and three small children. He purchased 160 acres bounded on the south by what is now the site of the CNW Railroad and the streets we now know as Harlem, Chicago and Oak Park Avenues. He worked at the sawmill, and in 1835 he built himself a home (some say an inn) near what’s now Pier One on Lake Street in downtown Oak Park. This was the first permanent house in what is now Oak Park. (The village was then called Kettlestrings’ Grove and later Oak Ridge.) To secure a better education for his children, Kettlestrings moved to Chicago in 1843. This was before the Old Red Schoolhouse, a simple frame building, was built at Lake Street and Lathrop Avenue in River Forest in 1851.
