The Hinsdalean - Community journalism the way it was meant to be

Jim Slonoff

The 1893 home at 244 E. First St. was torn down yesterday morning to make way for a new residence, and 716 S. Oak St. and 419 S. Oak St. are poised for demolition. Hinsdale officials are now looking at ways to preserve its historic homes. "The village would truly lose something when we tear down those homes," Village President Tom Cauley said.
