For the past year and a half, Naperville Preservation Inc. has made it a mission to catalog midcentury modern homes that are being torn down to make way for expensive replacements.
Jane Burke is used to change. For most of her life, the Naperville native watched the neighborhoods around her multiply, subdivision after subdivision. As she grew up, the town did too, from a barely five-figure population size to the fourth-largest city in Illinois. But change isn’t what it used to be. Burke, now 76, says Naperville has started to creep in on itself, eyeing ways to infill as developable land dwindles.
The process started when the organization’s president, Becky Simon, went walking through the East Highlands during the pandemic and saw more than a few active teardowns, Burke said. The redevelopment, and where it was happening, caught Simon’s attention.
