New Business 6.a. HP2004-01 - 1121 Waukegan - Landmark Designation - Commonly known as Farmhouse Museum of the Glenview Area Historical Society Commissioner Dawson recused herself from discussion on this matter. Mr. Warren Fellingham performed a great deal of research to locate drawings which formed the basis for the 1864 farmhouse. In that era, pattern books were common. People used them to identify a house, style, various frontages, and floor plans. Searching for more information, Mr. Fellingham found that the Library of Congress housed much material. Additionally, some information was garnered from the internet. Mr. Fellingham assembled this documentation and distributed it to Commissioners at the meeting entitled, "A Discussion of the Origins of the Design of the Farmhouse Building that now Houses the Museum of the Glenview Area Historical Society." On page eight of this document is a photograph of a farmhouse that is very similar in style to 1121 Waukegan Road. The Glenview farmhouse was built for John Hutchings on a farm of several acres. Chairman Silver thanked Mr. Fellingham for his efforts.
