The local Historic Preservation Ordinance and Architectural Review Guidelines that govern how buildings within Oak Park’s three historical districts may be altered during repairs and remodeling projects were updated in February.
While a majority of the Village’s existing preservation-related requirements remained the same, these latest changes to the guidelines were crafted to provide more clarity and a streamlined review process, as well as additional educational resources to promote best preservation practices.
The Village’s three historic districts — the Ridgeland/Oak Park Historic District, Frank Lloyd Wright-Prairie School of Architecture Historic District and Gunderson Historic District — comprise about a third of the Village and are designated locally and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Oak Park also has 11 buildings and one park listed on the National Register, in addition to more than 70 locally designated historic landmarks.
