Скачать или смотреть What's Been Hiding on Addison St. for 90 Years?!

Remember that blue eyesore on Addison in Elmhurst? Look what was hiding underneath!

When my architect started researching the building's history, we discovered it may have been connected to the railroad tracks; possibly a carriage house or storage unit.

As we peeled away layers, we found not one but TWO historic signs: a 1950s-60s sign from a sewing machine repair shop, and underneath that, the ORIGINAL 1930s sign painted on brick, Elmhurst Glass Shop!

Unfortunately, the original brick and paint were too fragile to expose, so we're re-encapsulating the facade to preserve it.

In another hundred years, someone else can uncover this piece of Elmhurst history all over again!
