Kenilworth Illinois Post Office

ADDRESS: 408 Green Bay Rd., Kenilworth, Illinois 60043

Welcome to Kenilworth where the median household income in 2009 was just over $240,000. I don’t know why I went searching for this statistic, I guess because I’ve always heard this was an upper class neighborhood and was curious. Driving around this area you really do get a sense of the upper class feeling. Just looking at some of the “smaller” or normal size houses are all pretty impressive.

Thanks,

STATUS: The Glen Ellyn post office is still an active, operating facility, and the mural can be viewed by interested members of the public. It resides in the lobby on the wall above the postmasters door.

WOW! Check out the building and mural? See the funny thing is, we visited the newer post office first before heading to the downtown area to visit this one. So as you can imagine the contrast between the two buildings, is really is quit amazing.

Thanks for stopping by

Former Villa Park Illinois Post Office

Villa Park IL Post Office 60181
Villa Park IL Post Office 60181

ADDRESS: 321 E. Kenilworth Ave., Villa Park, Illinois 60181

Another historic building for sale. I never come across any sources, as this building ever having artwork, but it still pains me to see these wonderful old buildings for sale. I visited in January of this year hoping to get it photographed before it potentially disappears for good. If only I could get inside to see if the lobby has anything interesting.

Can anyone help me out? Is there stuff inside to see? I really just curious and would like to see it since its vacant anyway.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
