Mike and George
As part of my research into the Aurora-Chicago Q history I am interested i=
n all of the East End structures.
The history of the stops on the line is not well documented as to when the=
y were established and the succession of depots (West Lyons/Stone Avenue fo=
r example).
I have pieced together some places (often finding info that the local HS d=
o 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 hear=
d of that came to light as well.
Recently through the ICC Valuation disk from the BRHS Archives a build dat=
e of 1904 surfaced for the Highlands depot.
Ken started drawing it up and the Q drawing is poor (likely all generated =
from the same photostat that I got from the Building and Bridges Department=
 =E2=80=9Cback in the day=E2=80=9D).
I am interested in drawing it up in 3D and have good photos to reproduce t=
he stone and brick accurately.
It occurred to me that Hinsdale might have information on it from the perm=
it process...maybe even a copy of the construction documents or at least co=
nfirmation of the build date and architect.
George, if you could make a call being a village taxpayer to see if the bu=
ilding department have anything in their archives it might add to the histo=
rical record.  I will be glad to cover any reproduction and mailing costs.
I intend to give a copy of my digital book to the local historical societi=
es and libraries along the line as well as the BRHS...it is a non-commercia=
l project.
