=EF=BB=BFMike and George
As part of my research in= to the Aurora-Chicago Q history I am interested in all of the East End stru= ctures.
The history of the stops on the line is not well docu= mented as to when they were established and the succession of depots (West = Lyons/Stone Avenue for example).
I have pieced together some = places (often finding info that the local HS do not know about!) but some (= like Douglas Park) I=E2=80=99ve not been able to find much.  There are= about a half dozen stops that most have never heard of that came to light = as well.
Recently through the ICC Valuation disk from the BRH= S Archives a build date of 1904 surfaced for the Highlands depot.
Ken started drawing it up and the Q drawing is poor (likely all gene= rated from the same photostat that I got from the Building and Bridges Depa= rtment =E2=80=9Cback in the day=E2=80=9D).
I am interested in= drawing it up in 3D and have good photos to reproduce the stone and brick = accurately.
It occurred to me that Hinsdale might have inform= ation on it from the permit process...maybe even a copy of the construction= documents or at least confirmation of the build date and architect.
George, if you could make a call being a village taxpayer to see if= the building department have anything in their archives it might add to th= e historical record.  I will be glad to cover any reproduction and mai= ling costs.
I intend to give a copy of my digital book to the= local historical societies and libraries along the line as well as the BRH= S...it is a non-commercial project.
