Contractor Mike Reed of Reed Construction North Shore, Inc. today wrapped up preliminary structural work on the Wright-designed Cottage in Glencoe in preparation for moving the structure to Park 7n. Over the past several weeks, Reed and his crew have carefully removed the subsequent additions to home and restored the structure to its original size and design. They have also braced the interior of the home to protect the structure during its move down the block to the park. The focus of the work now shifts to the park itself where civil engineering experts, who have been working on plans to remediate drainage issues, have requested soil boring samples to help fine tune the location of the Cottage in the park. No date has been set for the move due to COVID 19 restrictions.
