That Tudor building on Thacker used to house a barbershop. The inner circle was often the place softball teams practiced before playing games at West park. A lot of memories, thanks for this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717406644323517155.post-75249698541305754852010-10-24T15:26:40.457-05:002010-10-24T15:26:40.457-05:00I am staggered to read on your blog that DesPlaines does not have a historic preservation or landmarking ordinance. Does the village not landmark buildings in any way?<br /><br />Do you have a post about the villa at Maryville? I am trying to learn more about its architecture and history. Thank you.<br /><br />lexcordis@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
