    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.
