A developer who said he would consider demolishing a Wilmette home with ties to Frank Lloyd Wright if it didn’t sell by end of August, may have had a change of heart, according to ChicagoMag.com. Schaumburg-based developer George Hausen told ChicagoMag.com that he “could give [the house] a little more time, probably,” if it didn’t sell by late August. Hausen purchased the house and an adjoining cottage at 1320 and 1318 Isabella Street. He originally planned to demolish the properties until he learned the significance of the structures. In April, Wilmette village trustees approved variations for the lots on 1318 and 1320 Isabella Street to help preserve the two historic structures that are currently there. On 1320 Isabella Street sits …

Camp programs were adapted to provide more water-based activities during last week’s heat wave.
With the excessive heat last week and the weather expected to hit the lower 90’s Monday and Tuesday, Wilmette Park District has been adjusting summer camp programs to keep the children hydrated with more water-based activities. “We canceled field trips during last week’s heat wave,” said Steve Wilson, executive director of Wilmette Park District. “Both of my kids’ field trips were canceled.” Instead of taking campers to Lincoln Park Zoo, children headed to the lakefront, said Carol Heafey, manager of recreation programs. Heafey says no field trips have been canceled, yet, for next week, but if there are any changes, parents will be notified via email or a note will be sent home with the campers.
