This is behind Sears school next to the basketball courts. I have run past it for many years on my way to and from the Green Bay Trail.

The Warming House! One side was used for sport stuff - especially skates before we went out on the iced over baseball fields. The other side was a community room used by scouts and the Sears 8th Graders for Friday night Drop-Ins!

This mid-century modern structure is the Kenilworth Village House, located at the end of Ivy Court. This is the south east corner. It was built around 1962-6(?) by the Kenilworth Scout troops, with donations and proceeds from the Annual Pancake Breakfast. It contains a meeting room with a large fireplace, a full kitchen, and bathrooms. the smaller room serves as the skating warming house. It is currently owned by the Village and is used for community functions, school functions, Junior High Drop In, and is the Junior High lunch room.
