Ok, Wilmette history nerds - I know you know more than I do. Can you please take a look at these photos and tell me what's what, what was where, what's changed, etc? I'd love to hear your stories of these buildings. Thanks!

Hi, Sarah! Well, since nobody else has weighed in, I'll have a go at this... Logan is McKenzie on Prairie Ave., the old Gross Point School became the American Legion post at 1925 Wilmette Avenue (near the corner with Ridge), Stolp School was right next to Central, Howard was where Howard Park is now (17th Street), Laurel School (1920-71) was at Laurel and 7th., and Central, Harper, and Highcrest are still around.

Hi Sarah! Patrick did a great job on his locations. Just to add a little extra: Stolp School faced west and is now a playground at Central School. The spire that rested atop Howard Jr. High (17th Street, 2 blocks south of Lake) is still there. The play fields west of the school used to be called the Village Green, and just west of the play fields was the Curtis Curling Center. Leave a Reply. |
