ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plainfiel d’s Histor ic Urbanized Core: An Intensive-Level Survey 7 1. INTRODUCTION Plainfi eld’s Historic Urbanized Core: An Intensive-Lev el Survey is the vil lage’s first intensive-l evel survey of the urbanized core. It fo llows the creation of the Historic Preservation Commission and hist oric preservation ordinance in 2004, and was conducted simultaneo usl y with the Rural Structure s and Farmsteads Survey of historic resources outside the village boundaries.As state d in the P roject Ob jective s, the v illage , through t his proj ect, was seekin g:•To provide information on ev ery structure included within the survey area defined herein to identify and determine the el igibility of structures, in whole or p art thereof,for listin g in the Nationa l Register of Historic Place s and as locally de signated landmarks or histo ric distr ict;•To provide an inve ntory co nsistin g of all proper ties in the def ined su rvey ar ea to consist of an inventory form, black and white photograph, description, construction date, physic al chang es, hist orical informati on, and a National Register evaluation of the properties;•To provide information on lo cal Plainfield architect ure and on significant architectural styles, both commercial and domes tic, in the historic core;•To provide historical info rmation on the development of the area; and •To fulfill the survey and documentation standards and requirements of the Ce rtified Local G overnme nt progra m.All of these o bjective s were me t through t he requir ements o f the pr oject.More than ten years ago, in October 1994, the Reconnaissance Survey Report: Historic/Architectu ral Resources was comp leted. The rep ort examine d the arch itecture and hist ory of the community, and provided approaches to conducting an inten sive-level s urvey. Since that time, the only other survey to be conducte d was the Appendi x F: Histori c Urban Bui lding In ventory , April 2000 as part of the Design Man ual, Lockport Street B usiness Corridor . The village has no additional listings i n th e National Registe r of His toric Pl aces. I n fact, o ne Natio nal Regi ster li sted buil ding–Flander s House–has since been moved and is now eligible for removal from the National Registe r. Perhaps what is most astonis hing about the per iod of t ime since the Reconnaissance Survey was completed is the growt h and dev elopme nt in and around the villa ge. Betwe en 1990 and 2000 , the vi llage’s population increas ed by 186%, f rom 4,557 to 13,038. In the 2002 special census, the pop ulation had increased to 21,000, then with the latest specia l cens us dated O ctober 27, 2005, the population was 30,314.
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plainfiel d’s Histor ic Urbanized Core: An Intensive-Level Survey 8 During the time this pro ject was conducte d, the vi llage designa ted its f irst lo cal lan dmark–510 North Fox Rive r Street. Most recently, the vil lage passed a revise d Demolition Ordinance. Importantly,this newest Demolition Ordinance prov ides a review opportunity to the Historic P r eservation Commission before a demolit ion permit m ay be granted . This intensive-leve l survey pr ovides valuable informatio n to the village fo r making better informed decisions in this p rocess. Additionally,with the recommendations in this survey, the Historic Preservation Commiss ion and t he village can work toward achieving designa tion goa ls and ul timately preser vation of the v illage ’s unique history that is represented through its historic res ources. Important to note is that this survey is a process as much as a docu ment. While over 700 survey forms and this report have been prepared, the forms,recommendations, and determinations of significance are not all-inclusiv e. Additional relevant information will continue to surface, and will continu e to co ntribute to this base of documentation.2. METHO DOLOGY As an intensive-leve l historic resources survey, this project is a building by building survey of an area specif ied by the Vi llage of Plainfiel d, Plainfield Historic Preservation Commission. A survey form and photograph was prod uced for every histori c buildin g within t he defi ned area , with addi ti on al photogra phy of outbuildi ngs ass ociated with the main build ings on each pro perty. As established by the Plainfiel d Historic Preservation Commission, the boundaries of the survey area are general ly the Elgin, Joliet & Easte rn Railroad an d the DuPag e River (to the w est); northea sterly to Mill St reet, ea sterly to East ern Ave nue and th e Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railroad; southerly to Lake Renwick and the Plainfield Township Cemetery; and westerly al ong Fort Beggs Drive to the Elgin,Joliet & Eastern Railroad. The area was initial ly estim ated by the V illage of Plainfiel d to contain approximat ely 525 properties. This init ial fig ure was un deresti mated by a pproxim ately 249 properties, repres enting a forty-s even p ercent i ncrease . In an e ffort to reduce t he ove rage, the consu ltant and village planning s taff agreed that a general group form would be done for certain areas. These areas we re stric tly mode rn in deve lopmen t, and included no historic resources . They are Vintage Knoll Drive (twelve properties); V ista Lane (five prop erties); No rth Penn Road (nineteen properties); and Lakeside D rive (sixteen propertie s). This reduced the ov erage b y approximat ely fifty-two prop erties. Nevert heless , the fin al count of surv ey forms was 722, nearly 200 propert ies abov e the or iginal f igure, thus impactin g the ori ginal co mpletio n date of the pro ject.The survey area consists o f the original thirteen blocks of the Village of Plai nfield (1834), the V illage of East Plainfield (1835), Arnold’s Addition (1845), as well as subsequent additions and s ubdivision platted through the 1940s.At the August 25, 2005 meeting of the Plainfield Historic Preservatio n C omm ission, the goals for the project were further discussed with historic p reservation consultan t Alice Edwards Novak of ArchiSea rch Histo ric Prese rvation Consul tants. Th e discus sion in cluded:
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plainfiel d’s Histor ic Urbanized Core: An Intensive-Level Survey 9 •attaining a good understanding of the architectural co ntext of the village ;•determining what is t ruly his toric, wi th parti cular regar d to evaluation s for possible registration (National Register and local designations);•using the individual survey forms as a basis for discussion as to why a particular property is or is not historic (The surve y forms are not “end-all” documents, but rather may be added to as Historic Preservatio n Commissione rs and indivi dual propert y owners discove r additiona l history pertaining to any prope rty.); •understanding building terminology;•having the survey complete d before the next building cycle ; and •considering other p otentia l produc ts such a s touris m b r ochures, a buildin g watch l ist,publications, financial incentiv es, and other planning programs.At that time , the survey form was also discuss ed. Earlier in the summer during consultant interv iews,the Historic Preservation Commission had expressed an interest in a more detailed method of architectural descrip tion, as Ms . Novak pr esented on the Quincy, Ill inois form which she had develo ped. The narrative descriptions were to include number of stories, building shape o r plan,foundation and wall material s, roof shape a nd ma terial, p orch, windows, decorative features, and other feature s for e ach main bu ilding. Ms. No vak outli ned sugge sted cha nges to the for m. The category “Co ndition” was reco mmended f or remov al by Ms . Novak, as it is a highly subjecti v e determination and does not necessari ly effect a property’s s ignificance. The village requested that the Property Index Number, or PIN, be added to the f orm to as sist with villa ge reco rds. Addresses along Divisi on Stree t are bei ng change d to a fi ve digit system , but some proper ties st ill ha ve the former four digit addresses posted. Since this process is ongoin g, both addresses were requested on the surv ey forms for cl arity. The Historic Preservation Commission also requested that the date of fie ld surve y be included on the survey forms. As part of an e ffort to manage a large amo unt of da ta coll ected, a field log number or tag numbe r was added by the consulta nt as an extension to the field survey date. This number is of no p ermanent use on the form; rather, i t s erved as a means to check f ield fo rms with f orms which had been transcri bed on the compute r. If a co mputer fo rm neede d to be ch ecked, t he field forms were organized b y the fi eld lo g number, ra ther than by addres s. The f ield lo g numbers general ly ref lect the order in which pro perties were sur veyed.All properties within th e surve y area we re surve yed, reg ardless of est imated dat e of co nstructio n, with one excep tion. In an eff ort t o reduce t he overage of prope rties within the survey area, general or group forms were done for four modern developments; rather than indi vidual f orms on t he fift y-two properties in those four areas, a single summary form was done for eac h stre et or de velop ment.Properties which wer e less than fif ty year s old we re desc ribed in a shorter method, a s these would be non-contributing proper ties in any po tential histori c distric t. Outbuild ings were include d where releva nt, but were a lso doc umented i n a short er method . As a req uirement of the v illage , both main buildings and any outbuildi ngs were photogr aphed fo r the surv ey forms .
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 10 Fieldwor k was conducted by the surveyor walking each block, standing in the public right-of-way in front of each building, and taking notes on each property with a f iel d form and clipbo ard.Outbuildin gs were documented to the best extent possible given typ ical limited views from the public right-of-way. On rare occasions, the surve y was conducted from the car due to inclement weather conditions. Field wo rk was co nducted i n August 2005 through mid -January 2006. Photography was conducted in January and February, with field days devo ted solely to photo graphy. This was done not only for efficiency, b ut also due to foli age throug hout much of the fall , foll owed by holiday decorations. The winter photography allowed for the clearest view s possible of eac h prope rty. Bef ore the photogr aphy fi eld work was begun , two properties were demolished: the Herath-Quinn House at 14926 (formerl y 80 2) North Di vision Street/S tate Route 59 and 15211 (fo rmerly 403) North Divisi on Stree t/State Ro ute 59.The report w as compi led ov er much of the ext ent of t he proje ct time line, with sections submitted in December, March, and June. Oppo rtunities for Historic Preservation Co mmission and staff comments were provided after the submission o f each section, with comme nts inco rporated into the revised report i n June, a nd again a t the submi ssion o f the final r eport th e first week of Nove mber 2006.Research focuse d on mater ials av ailable through th e Plainf ield Hi storical Societ y Museum, the Illinois History Survey (at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), and on-lin e Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps (available through the Unive rsity of Illinois). Sanborn Maps dating to 1893, 1898,1912, 1931, and 1944 wer e the ch ief so urce of building s pec ific in formatio n. Local and coun ty history publica tions we re the mai n source s for the histori c conte xt deve lopmen t.Overall, this intensive-lev el survey was more architec tural in content and anal ysis, wi th very limited building specif ic histo ric rese arch. Sig nifican ce was mo st alway s based on architectural valu e through field observation, rather than association with significant pe rsons or significant events in the v illage ’s history. Further archival research and oral historie s may result in additional prope rties being determined as significant for loc al landmark and historic district designations.A compan i on goal of this projec t was to ma ke opp ortunitie s for pu blic educ ation thr oughout th e survey proces s. On Tue sday, Se ptember 13, a pub lic mee ting was h eld at th e Mason ic Lodge to introduce the survey project. Repres entatives f rom the Masonic Lodge spoke about their historic headquarters. John Kersh, then a Planner for Vil lage of Plainfi eld, gav e the bac kground o n the project , and Ms. Novak from ArchiSe arch His toric Pre servati on Cons ultants spoke about how t he project was bein g conduct ed. The m eeting w a s publicize d through re gular vi llage p ostings , the Plainfield Historical Society, and local media, and was attended by a variety of Historic Preservation Commissioners, property owners, and o ther interested people.As part o f the ed ucation p rocess , a survey handout was devel oped by ArchiSea rch. The one-pa ge flyer used a questio n a nd answer for mat addr essing common questions and concerns from su rvey field work. Que stions included, “Why is this pers on staring at my house?,” “Why do we need this
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 11 survey?,” and “Wil l my tax es be af fected by the in formatio n gathere d on th e survey form?” The handout was give n to peo ple who inquired to the f ield sur veyors about the projec t. Th e ha ndout includ ed the Plan ner’s name and number at the Village Hall , to provide the opportunity f or additional questions and to legitimize the surveyors in the field. It is incl uded as an Appendix in this report.Another handout, “T his Old Bu ilding,” was developed to enc ourage property owners and other knowledgeab le peopl e to contribute building specific information about prope rties in the urbanized core. This handout was available at the Sep tember publ ic meeti ng and thro ugh local businesses, as distributed by John Kersh, w ho was a P lanner for the villag e at the time. I t is also included as an Appendi x in this report.As would be required with a Ce rtified L ocal Gover nment projec t, this proj ect included m onthly updates from t he con sultant to the v illage , focusi ng on fi eld work progres s, any p roblems with the project , and any emerging themes rel a ted to th e archite cture of the vil lage. I n the midd le of t he project , John Ke rsh, Plan ner, le ft empl oyment w ith the village and the proje ct was then overse en by Michael Garrigan , Villa ge Plann er, then Kelle y Chriss e, Plann er, as o f March 2006.3. PREVIOUS SURVEYS AND OTHER PREVIOUS DOCUMENTATION Likely the earl iest doc umentatio n of a bui lding in Plainfi eld was the Hist oric Ame rican Buil dings Survey (HABS) of the Den nison G reen Ho use, 222 Mai n Street . The HA BS program was begun in 1934 , providing ph otographs (m edium and large format , black and w hite, arch ivally stable photogra phs), measured drawings, and/or his tory doc umentatio n of se lect pr opertie s througho ut the country; the program is still active, but unfortunately in modern times, HABS documentation is usually conducted in anticipatio n of a building’s demolition. The mater ials pr oduced o n the Denniso n Green House we re compl eted in 1935, a very early date for document ation. T he photographs of the house show it in absolutely pristine co ndition with a high degree of integrity,prior to the app licatio n of asb estos s hingle siding.1 The two earl iest true survey s which i ncluded the Vil lage of Plainfi eld were compani on surve ys as p art of a statewide, county by county eff ort which was initiate d after t he pass age of t he National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The Act established state his toric preservation office s and the National Register of His toric Pl aces, an d the surv eys wer e part of the first state eff orts in historic preservation.Initially under the auspice s of the Illino is Depa rtment of Conse rvation , the sta te historic preservation office conducted initial surveys as the Illinois Historical Landmarks Survey (completed in 1974 for Will County) and the Illinois Historic Structures Survey (completed in 1972 for Wil l County ), both as part of the Division o f the Illinois Historic Sites Survey. The crews of field surveyors at that time varied grea tly in t erms of the number of peo ple sur veying and the t horoughne ss of t he surv ey .Gen erally, few pro perties were ide ntified in any o f these survey s. Additi onally , attitude s towa r d historic and archit ectural sign ificance have cha nged drast ically since that time period as w ell. A t best, the earl y state survey s are useful to conf irm particular significance for an e lite and very limited
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 12 group of prop erties. The inf ormation provide d in thes e surve ys is ty picall y no more than a pr operty name, address, an estimated date, and perhaps a fe w words on significance.The “Inventory of Historic Landmarks in Will County,” oriented more toward historic significance,included five Plainfiel d properties:Octagonal House , Illinois Route 26 and Van Dyke Road, ?date, “possi bly a replic a”[destroyed in the 1990 tornado];Plainfiel d House [Halfway House], 503 Main Street, 1834, “Stage inn on Chic ago-Ottawa Road. Also post office . Historical marker;”Huling H ouse , 33 Lockport Street, 1844, “Underground railroad station. Still has hiding closet intact;”United Methodist Ch urch , Chicago & Illi nois st reets , 186 6, “Large, early stone church;”and Plainfiel d Cemetery , Illinois Route 59, south side of town, est. 1840s, “Pioneer cemetery;has firs t ministe r in the r egion, a nd first settle r.The “Invent o ry of Historic Structures in Will County” was more architectural in emphasis. It included only one building in Plainfield , the Plymouth Congregational Church at the northeas t corner of Lockport and Ill inois streets.As part of a summer internship program in 1980 with the Village of Plai nfield , Michael A. Lambert ,then a studen t in Arch itecture at the U nivers it y of Il linois at Urbana -Champai gn, condu cted a survey. Mr. Lamber t perso nally distribute d survey forms to over tw o hun dre d property owners.Those survey forms sought information from pro pe rty owners a bout their buildings , in addit ion to seeking feedbac k on com munity in terest i n histor ic pres ervatio n. Impre ssivel y, 107 surve ys were retu rned as part of that project, and a good i nitial effort to begin an inv entory of building specific information was thus begun.In October 1994, the “Reconnaissance Survey Report, Historic/Architectural Res ources,” was completed and pres ented to the Villag e Board by The URBANA Group, a consulting firm based in Urbana, Illinois. The reco nnaissance survey, sometimes referred to as “windshield survey,” included a summary o f histor ic conte xts, a s ummary of arc hitect ural styles and vernacular building ty pes,recommendations for intensive-lev el survey, a discussion of pre servation programs, and recommendations for National Register and potential loca l designations. The forty -seve n page re port recommended various sections, somewhat based on vil lage plats and additions, for surve y, including p riorities. Also noted were areas of more modern construction which were reco mmended to b e eliminat ed fr om survey. Since that time, more than ten years ago, some of these propertie s have
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 13 s ince gained possible historic s ignificance, as generally historic preservation programs such as th e National Register of Historic Places consider properties w hich a re fifty years o ld or ol der to be potentially historic.In 2000, Arris Architects + Planners in Plainfield, created the Design Manual for the Lockport Stree t Business Corridor , April 2000, in conju nction w ith updating the Master Plan. Michael A. Lambert was the principal author. The Manual included Appendix F: Histo ric Urban Core Bui lding Inventory, a listi ng of buil dings in the corridor with building address, a brief statement of signi ficance,a numerical integrity evaluation, basic de scription details (number of stories , orig inal materials,additions, construction date), preservation v alue, and other recognitions of the buil dings such as the earlie r Reconn aissanc e Survey , the sta te surve ys, and t he Natio nal Regi ster. The Nati onal R egister of Historic Places nominations also provide excellent historic and architectural information about the village. Plainfield conti nues to have only three properties listed in the National Register of Historic Pl aces and one of these , the Flanders House, will be de-l isted due to an unapp roved mo ve. The two othe r listin gs are Plainfield Halfway Ho use, 503 West Main Street (listed September 29, 1980 for historic signific ance) an d the Stan dard Oil G asolin e Statio n, 600 West Lockport (listed November 13,1984 for his toric an d architec tural sig nifican ce). Fl anders House, original ly loc ated at 405 West Main Street (listed Nov ember 14, 1991 for architectural and historic signifi cance), was move d two blo cks wes t to 507 Main Stre et, but the move was not considered before the Illinoi s Historic Sit es Advisory Counc il, thereby mak ing the bui lding eligib le for de-l isting. 4. DESCRIPTION OF THE SURVEY AREA The survey area boundaries generall y included all potential ly historic construc tion with in the v illage boundaries; the area within th e vill age bounda ri es which was not included in the survey was excluded because it was modern in co nstruction. To the north, the survey boundary extended on Division to the n orth side of Plai nfield -Naperv ille Ro ad. The bound ary fol lowed th e DuPage River along the rear proper ty lines of bu ildings facing Main Stre et, west to Lock port Stre et/Route 126.Here the boundary extended west to incl ude the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway Company Freight Depot and Pass enger St ation, jus t west of the bridge over th e DuPage River. C ontinuin g west, th e survey area boundary follows the DuPage Rive r, along Electric Park, Vista La ne, and t he rear propert y lines of buildings facing James until construc tion en ds alon g the eas t river b ank, four lots south of the inter section of Ja mes Stre et with Fo rt Beggs D rive. Th e southe rn boundary of the survey area ex tends do wn the midd le of F ort Beggs Drive t o Divis ion/Route 59, where i t jogs north around the ceme tery, the n contin ues eas t along the ceme tery’s northern boundary. The boun dary continues southeasterly across Jol iet Road/U.S. Route 30, then follows the western boundary of Lake Renwick to the eastern ends of Ottawa, Chicago, and Lockport, where the railroad marks the end of historic construction within the villag e. Th e boundary follows the railroad no rthwesterly until Eastern Avenue, where it goes north. Along Eastern Aven ue, the boundary jogs east twice: once for the Vint age Kno ll dev elopme nt which i s framed by two historic buildings, and again for three lots
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 14 just south of Main Street/Illinois Route 126, where historic buildings remain; by jogging to incl ude these two areas, the boundary has excluded the modern school between these. The boundary goes southweste rly along the southeas tern side of Main Stre et, then jogs ac ross to the nort hwest to include two lots along the north sid e of the street at M ill Street. The boundary follows the end of College Street, then goe s across Plainfield-Naperv ille Road to include four l ots before going to the point of origin.After the survey was b egun, several areas wi thin the survey boundary were eliminated f rom intensive-level survey due to construction which was c ompl etely modern. These a reas inc luded Lak eside Drive, off the eastern sectio n of Ottawa ; Penn Ro ad, just north off Main Street; Vintage K noll Drive;Vista Lane, which faces Electric Park. None of these streets or dev elopments is of sufficient age or exceptional architectural significance to be co nsidered contributing to any potential histori c distric t.Furthermore, these areas were eliminated to reduce the number of properties to be surveyed, which excee ded the o riginal estimate by nearl y 200.

HISTORIC CONTEXT Summary Plainfield had a pivotal role in the early settlement and develop ment of this region of Ill inois. This early period perhaps arguably remains the most significant period in the vil lage’s development, and merits the greatest attention when loo king at the village’s hist ory. What is par ticularly interesting about t his development is that an astonishing portion of it may s till be seen in the v illage’s ex tan t built enviro nment. Bo th the qua lity and quanti ty, especially from the early period o f deve lopmen t,c. 1830 - c. 1855, combi ne for a strikin g repres entatio n in Plai nfield ’s remaining historic resources,t he degr ee to which could be of state wide significance. Architecturally, the Greek Revival and Gothic Revival styles, an d the Upright and Wing vernacular building type date to th is peri od;additiona lly, s ome Gabl ed Ell vernac ular buil ding typ es are a lso fro m this pe riod.Early Settlement When Illinois achieved statehood in 1818, much of the area nor t h of Alton and Edwardsville (in Madison County, along the Mississ ippi River and east) in the new state, with some exception, was a wilderness.2 Howeve r, occas ional e xplore rs, sol diers on their marc hes to the distant outposts, as well as American Indian traders and trappers, had given glowing descriptions of the beauties of this region.3 The Illinois and Michigan Canal p roject h ad been c onceiv ed during the War o f 1812, thus prompting the purchase of the American Indian lands in 1816. Important to note is that American Indians remained in this area as late as 183 5-37, a nd some never left; t hus the earlies t Anglo European settlement of some ten years or more meant the coexistence of the two distinctly differe nt cultures . As early as 1820, an occasional pio neer had explored out into the ne w Northwest lands, including early Metho dist missionaries.4 One of these early Methodist missionaries was Reveren d Jesse Wal ker ,whose journey to this area pre-dates s tatehood. Wa lke r, was born in 1766 in V irginia, joined t he church at ag e twenty , and ent ered the ministry on proba tion in 1804. In 1806, Wal ker wa s accompanied by William McKendree on a trip to this region, then part of the Territory of Indiana.Upon their return back east, the men were appoin ted to the circuit in Il linois, ev entually heading back to Illinois . McKendree College , established in Lebanon, Illino is in 1828 and named after Walker’s colleague, remains the oldest colle ge in the state, so both men made signif icant contributions to the historic devel opment of Illinois.Purported ly a French Canadian, Vetel Vermette , came to the area in 1825 (alt hough som e accoun ts suggest his arrival as early as 1796),5 thus riv aling Re verend W alker as the first Anglo-European settler in the area, but the details of Ve rmette’s tenure in the area are rather sketchy . Accord ing to Plainfie ld: Then and Now , Reuben Flagg stated that when he arrived in the area in 1830, he found Vetel Vermette living “here wit h an Indi an wife.”6 Vermette, a fur trader, evidently did no t remain in the area for long; he s old his claim to Jedediah Wooll ey, Sr., a nd left .7 Anothe r account , also in Plainfie ld: Then and Now , has Ve rmette stopping through the area as early as 1822 or 1823, then returning in 1825 to establish squatter’s rights.8 This account has Vermette marrying Huldah

David Walker of Ottawa , and rel ocating to Ottawa i n 1830. Howe ver,George Forquier (sometim es spe lled Fo uquier, Furq ue, or Furk ee), the son of a Potawato mi Indian woman and a French Canadian man, was also in the area during the same period as Vermette, and may have been in the area ev en earlier than Vermette.Reverend Walker returned to sett le in th e Illino is lands with his family, includi ng his wi fe and tw o daughters, all on horseback with few po ssessions in tow. In 1826, Walker ca me to the vici nity of Plainfi eld, where an American Indian v illage continu ed to ex ist for severa l mo re years.9 In 1827,Walker became Superintendent of the Fox Rive r Missio n, which e ncompas sed a la rge extent of the territory. In 1829, he was in charge of the Des Plaines Mission, and formed the first clas s at Walkers’Grove, where the first settlement was made, just sou th of the presen t vill age of P lainfie ld.10 Reverend Walker’s tenure overlapped somewhat with that of Rev erend Stephen R. Beggs, one of the earliest itineran ts through the region. Beggs settled with his famil y in a log cabin on the s outheast portion of Sectio n 16 in the township , at the s outheast corner of what i s now Fo rt Be ggs Drive and James Street. After th e initia tion of the Black Hawk War in the summer of 1833, the cabin of Reverend Beggs was selected as a tempo rary fortification at which area se ttlers gathered for protection.Realistically the “fort” was no more than Begg’s log cabin surrounded with barricades co nstructed of fence rails and l ogs from outbuildings.11 Reverend Walker died in 1835 at age sixty-nine. His manuscripts were lost to fire . Some had been at the house of James Walke r (Reverend Walker’s son in-l aw); those which were saved from that fire ,were destroy ed in a f ire at the D.C Searle s house sever al year s later . Much of the account of Walker was conveyed from Mrs. D.C. (Harriet) Searles, his granddaughter, and James Walker, the father of Mrs. Searles.12 Accounts vary as to the relationship between the two W alkers; for many years t he Walkers were thought not to have been rel ated, other than through marriage, despite the na me.However, recent genealogic al records indicate that a relation may have existed, with the two men possibly being cousins.13 Captain James Walker was a n ative of Tennessee . He had met Reverend Walker in Ottawa an d eventually accompanied him on his mission to Walke rs’ Grove. Jesse Wal ker gained the title of “Captain” on June 25, 1832 when he was made Captain of Illinois Volunte ers, par t of a system of voluntee r militia which had been organized from Chicago to Ottawa.14 Accounts differ as to whethe r the name “Walkers’ Grove” pertained to Reverend Jess e Walker or to Captain James Walker; perhaps more ac curately, th e reference would be “Walkers’ Grove” to refle ct the residency of both earl y settl ers. Jame s Walke r brought al ong a hor se-powe red mill whi ch he set up for temporary use, the n const ructed a s awmill a nd a grist mill al so alo ng th e Du Page River by 1832,providing importan t early servic es to s ettlers in the re gion. Wh e n the W alker Sawmill was establi shed, no other sawmill existed i n northeastern Illinois, with the c losest mill at St. Jos eph ,Indiana. However, by 1833, nu me rous sawmills were operating throughout the region.15 Reportedly,the lumber for the first two frame buildings in Chic ago was hewn at this mill.16 One building was erected by P.F.W. Peck on the southeast corner o f LaSalle and South Water streets.17 The other building, the Dole Forwarding House, was erecte d by George Dole.18 Upon t he formal organization of Will Co unty, James Walker was chosen to be one of the three first commissioners, withou t opposition, and late r repres ented th e county in the s tate legislature.19 (Will County had originally
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 18 been part of Cook County, until it was separated off in the winter of 1835-36.) James Walker also served as county commissione r from 1845-48. He died in 1850 at the age of fifty-seven.20 Another of the earliest settle rs was Re uben Flag g, who left Vermont with his family i n the spring of 1830, ending up in the vicinity of Walkers’ Grove; he sett led on the north east quar ter of S ection 10 in the town ship, af ter firs t claimi ng a tract in the n ortheast ern quarte r of Sec tion 20.21 Acco unt s indicate that at that ti me, the v illage which bec ame Plain field i ncluded about a do zen lo g cabins, a block-house, and a stock ade. It wa s surround ed by low, wet pr airie, bar ren sand, and impassable sloughs.22 Flagg’s daughter may have been the first Anglo E uropean child bo rn in Wil l County , but accounts vary. The area which became Plainfield was within the I ndian Boundary, a section of the state which was framed by two parallel line s traversing diagonal ly ac ross the towns hips in what w ould eventually beco me part of Will C ounty. T he twenty mile st rip of l and which was frame d by the Bo undary (Native American lands purchased by treaty), was surveyed in 1821-22 for canal purposes, following statehood for Illinois in 1818. The land lying outside of the Boundary was n ot survey ed until 1837-38. The ea rlier s urvey me ant thos e lands were amo ng the fi rst avai lable f or purcha se. Cheste r Ingersoll is credited with pl atting the village proper i n 1834, which had sometimes been called South Plainfield, and was laid out in a grid. The north div ision wa s laid o ut by Squir e Arnol d,with Main and Oak streets runn ing diagona lly. Ingersoll , on his 18 34 plat of the new town,christened the village as “Planefi eld,” which was changed to “Plainfield” on the pl at of his f irst addition to the o riginal town the follo wing yea r. The name was apparen tly ins pired by the lush table of prairie grass and abundant wild flowers which lin ed the DuPage River, all su rrounded by virgin timber la nd. The community, however, was already well established by the time of the p latting in 1834. James Walker’s log house, the first in what would become the village p roper, easily pre-dated the p latting of th e village, but Ingersoll’s house was constructed shortly there after. James Walker’s house was located on the northwest corner of Fox River and Ottawa str eets; h e had also constructed the first community house i n northe rn Illi nois, but the date of this is not c lear.23 It was located on the corner of 401 Divis ion Stre et.24 At this time, Paul Kingsto n built a cabin and sto re/house which were located just west of the cemetery. The sto re offered such staples as axes, augers, coffee, sugar, tea,blankets, and calicoes.25 Cana l re cords indica te that in 18 30, Pau l Kingston of Walker s’ Grove bought Lot 7, Block 20 for $27.00; James Walker bought Lot 4, Block 10 for $20.00; and Jedediah Wooley bought Lo t 9, Block 44 for $50.00.26 By 1832, James Walker’s mill had been establishe d on the DuPage River, a short distance below the p oi nt w here the River Ro ad cross es the r iver, abo ut a mile south of the vill age; Walker had paid Reuben Flagg $32.00 for digging the mill race.27 Still oth er houses were qui ck to fo llow, wi th Plainf ield an d the surr ounding c ommunitie s using a ll the lumber tha t Walke r’s mill could p roduce.

(T he original s ection exists within the structure of the current building.) It also became the first government franchised post office in what even tually became Will County, with James Walker serving as the f irst pos tmaster.28 The lo cation o f the bui l ding–half way between Chicago and Ottawa,on the Chicago and Ottawa Trail (later Main Street)–was ideal. The Dr. John Temple Stage Line,later the Frink and Walker Stage Li ne and th e Hinto n Stage Line, us ed Half way Hous e from 1834 -1852. In 1836, Dr. E rastus G. Wight of Naperville leased Arnold’s Tavern and s ome adjoining property; but Plainfield Then and Now also states that Squire Arnold co ntinued to keep the post o ffice at Halfway House until his death in 18 45, so the information seems contradictory.29 Dr. Wight enlarged the buil ding to its present configuration ci rca 1836 - 38 with lumber hewn at James Walker’s saw mill.30 The fir st floo r of the house c onsiste d of the tavern, dining ro om, and kitchen;sleeping rooms were on the second f loor, but two fireplaces in the attic meant that was usa ble space available for sleeping also . Purportedly, a ballroom was also o n the se c ond story.31 Wight had “Plainfield House” painted on the east side of the building, but the estab lishment bec ame popularly known as “Halfway House” or “Wight Tavern.”32 A large horse barn was located west of Halfway House, providing space fo r the stage line horses.Dr. Wight, l ike many others who sett led in P lainfie ld at thi s time, wa s from th e east– Philadelphia.Wight was reportedly the first practic ing physic ian in northern Illinois, travel ing a circuit from Plainfield to Bourbonna is Grove to Chicag o Heights, ba ck through Western Spring s and occasiona lly across the stat e to Roc k Islan d.3 3 In 1838, Wight built a two story frame drug store across from Halfway House on Main Street; the e xact location is unknown, but it is thought to have be en where the apartmen t building is now, at the northeast corner of Main and Illinois s treets. He continued his practice until hi s death i n 1845 and the family continu ed to op erate the inn as l ate as 1886. The building was a focal point of activity for the region, as a hotel, tavern, and post off ice; a number of the 1834-35 Cook-Will County land grants were also administered at Halfway House, as wel l as being a favo rite mee ting pla ce for t he p ioneer Methodist circuit riders.34 The building also served as milit ia headqu arters an d artill ery park for the Plainfi eld Ligh t Artill ery and U nion Gre ys. Plain field’s significant location on the early road system was crucial to the village’s succe ss as a regional draw. The Chicago and Ottawa Trail is the basis for Main Street/Route 126. Dr. John C.Temple of Chicago received a United States mail contract in 1833 for a seventy mile route between Chicago and Ottawa with Arnold’s Tavern (later Halfway House) at 503 Main Street becoming a regular stop, half way between the two d estinat ions. Th e practic al use o f trails was faci litated by the state legislature, when a law all owing the con structio n of pl ank roads was pas sed in 1849. Prior to this time, th e early roads were bottomless dirt roads which in wet weather became impassable at times. The con structio n of pl ank roads meant gra ding the dirt and l aying wo oden str ingers be neath wood planks, for a sturdier, drier road about eight feet in width. The Oswego & Indiana Plank Road Company formed in 1849, opening to traffic in December 1851. Fee for a round trip to Joliet was twenty-seven cents. The road terminated in Plainfie ld; it closed in March of 1869.35 The failure was substant ially due to th e fee s ystem; farmers would drive miles out of the way in good weather to avoid

A pl ank road toll gate was locate d on the northeast corner of what is now Renwick Road and Ro ute 30. The Lockpo rt, Plain field &Yorkville Plank Road Company was formed in 1855, and was located along Lockpo rt Street. It was never completed to Yo rkville.38 The location on popular trail s meant an increas ed need for acc ommodatio ns. Root Kent’s house on the east side of DesPlain es j ust south of Lockport Street, was purchase d by Jim Beggs in 1865 and turned into a hotel. The house had been built in 1845. Beggs operated the hote l for about twenty-five years. Supposedly the south section of the building had been the Chittenden Store which had been locate d at the corner of Division and Comme rcial s treets, then mov ed and co nnected to the hotel to enl arge the establi shment. T he Chitten den Store building had prev iously been the Corbin General Store an d dated to circa 1852.39 The hotel changed ownership a number of times following Beggs’ tenure, then cl osed aro und 1920, afte r which the building was use d for a variety of other purposes. When Paul Birthisill of Park Ridge cl eared the lot in 1945 for construction o f a Fo rd garage, the Root Kent building was moved to the S tuhlman E ngineer ing prop erty at t he east edge of the village along Main Stre et, where it was used as a storage building until the late 1990s when it was raz ed.40 Plainfield was a hub of milling activity fro m the days of Walker’s mill to near the turn of the century.The location of mills in Plainfield meant farmers coming in to the village with their grains inc reased hotel, tavern, and stor e busine ss. Jame s Matthew s built a mill in 1835, operating it until he moved to Califo rnia in 1844.41 Yet another easterner, Matthews came from Massachusetts in 1831. After getting land along the DuPage River, he construc te d the mil l, dam, an d mill ra ce by 1835. T he McCallister Brother s bought th e mill from Matthews in 1844, adding a new saw mill which was operated by Burrel l, Hagar, and Goo dhue, then re nted and operated by Alonzo Hemstreet after that.42 Their s tore was locate d at what i s now 203 Mai n Street . In 186 6, Noah Sund erlin and Walter Burch bought the mill. Sunderlin bought out Burch and operated the mill until his death in 1886, after whi ch the mill was abandone d.43 The mil l was dis assembl ed by Sid ney Gra y in 1894, with the lumber and timbers being used to build his machine shop at 612 Lockport Street, later Wagner’s Shop.44 The other remains of the mill compl ex were destroyed in 1934 when the concrete bridge was constructed on Route 59, but some of the sto nes had b een sav ed by Mil es Harto ng.45 In more recent history , Matthews ’ mill be came kno wn as “the old red mill.”James Matthews laid out the north part of the v illage in 1835 which was united with the original town as laid out by Ingersoll when Arnold recorded his 1845 plat, kno wn as Arnold ’s Addition.Chester Ingersoll gave the v illage g round fo r a park (although the loc ation ch anged bet ween the 1834 and 1835 plats), under the condition that no permanent buildings should be erec ted upon it,with the park becoming t he Vill age Gre en.46 New England in character, the Vill age Green is a significant contribut ion to t he charac ter and de ve lopmen t of the villa ge. More over, th e Vill age Green, along wi th the ea rliest period o f archite cture fro m c. 1830 - c. 1855, illustrat es the great

Signifi cantl y, James Matthews also built a large house on the northeast corner of Naperville Road and Mill Street in 1837. Part of the original Matthews House wa s moved to and in corpora ted into this house; a th ird se ction o f the or iginal M atthews H ouse was moved a nd incor porated into the McCallister Store, wh ich was ra zed in 2005.47 The house was damaged by fire in 1912, and the front entrance and windo ws were al l repl aced.48 The Matthews family used space in their home for an inn and tavern to serv e patron s of the mill and others coming to the village. Lorin Burdick also occupied the house, be tween 1838 an d 1840. Burdick is thoug ht to hav e been o ne of th e carpenters who actually did the c onstruct ing of t he house ; he far med the Ma tthews p roperty for a while.49 The house is extant and continues to have a high degree of integrity. It is an excellen t exampl e of the vernacu lar build ing and ar chitectu re of th is earl y deve lopmen t period .The first schoolhouse was built in North Pla infiel d in 1837 and b urned in e ither 1846 or 1847, with a two story f rame build ing repl acing it at a cos t of $1,500.50 In 1851, the villa ge was divi ded into two districts, with a two story frame schoolhouse erected in the “lower district,” or South Plainfie ld, at a cost o f $1,200.Early Settlement - Industries Early industries played an important role i n vill age lif e througho ut the mid-ninetee nth cent ury. The John Bill Wagon Shop was locate d at 511 DesPlaines in 1834. Like many other settlers o f the time,Bill was a Ne w Englan der, from Woodbury, Vermont. As also was typical of the time, the building housed a mixture of uses , with a sc hool op erating a t one ti me on the upper s tory. Bil l made th e wagon that carri ed the first lum ber from Walk er’s Mill to Chicago, re portedly for th e first house bu ilt there. As a wagonmaker, Bill was also a mechanic of sorts, doing substantial repair work on wagons,and also de velop ing a rep utation a s a furni ture make r.51 Bill sold the business sometime around 1841. Also in 1841 , William Sanf ord Keene, a nati ve New York er, set up a blac ksmith sh op on th e lawn of his home at 506 F ox Rive r Street.52 It was the f irst blacksmith shop in the vill age, and it established a family business and trade that would sp an a century.53 Blacks miths made a variety of hardware and implements, from latches and hinges, and tools, to kitchen utensils and ice skates.54 Keene left hi s shop in 1849 and he aded wes t to Cal ifornia , but return ed to Plain field in 1852 and reopened his shop. His son, Anson, took over the busin ess whe n he retu rned fro m the Civ il War,moving it to 613 Lockport Street; his residenc e was at the corner of Ottawa and Des Plaines streets.55 As Plainfield approached the mid-nineteenth century, the Dillman Foundry became an important industry in the community. Lewis and Andrew Dillman, together with Cornelius A ultman, began manufacturing hand ope rated co rn shel lers, o ffering horse p owers and gene ral repa iring, und er the firm name Dillman & Company beginning in 1847, becoming the first such operation in the state.56 The foundry was located at the southeas t corner of Joliet Road/Route 30 and Divisi on Stree t/Route 59. The com pany ev entuall y relo cated to Jolie t for bette r shi pping s ervice s, but Robe rt D. Webb then opene d a wagon shop in the foun dry buildi ng. W ebb, fr om Yorks hire, Eng land, had a very

The company manufactu red 150 wagons i n 1854.57 This bus iness w as so s ignific ant to the community that when the buildi ng was destr oyed by fire on Jan uary 28, 1877, a $3,00 0 loss, the tow nspeople raised $300 to purchase timbers for a new building since the o wner had no insurance.58 A native of Connecticut, Miles Royce came t o Plainfield and established a fanning mill factory. In 1834, his firs t yea r in operation, Royce manufactured fifty fanning mills, the first manufactured in northern Illinois.59 Fanning mills of fered gr ain sep arating s ervice s, sepa rating the chaff f rom the grain.The Naperville-Plainfiel d Road area was a busy thoroughfare. With the railroa d coming in the 1880s, it meant many cattle and sheep were unloaded, with the animals driven in herds by men on horseback to area farms.60 Adding t o the activity in the area was the c heese factory. The stone and timber two sto ry buildi ng stood jus t east o f the ol d Red Mill , adjacen t to a la rge ice house. T he factory was constructed in 1880 by an organization of local dairy farmers who needed a market for milk and related products.61 The busi ness p roved to be yet a nother re gional draw to Pl ainfiel d,bringing custom ers fro m Joliet, Lockport, and the exten ded Plainfield area for the fac tory, which produced cheese and butter, and sold cream and milk.62 The factory changed ownership a number of times, in rather short termed succes sions o f five or ten y ear owne rship, c losing around 1903. The remains o f the fa ctory e xisted i nto the m id-nine teenth c entury un til it wa s demol ished.Early Settlement - Government From 1834 to 1861, the villa ge had no formal govern mental n etwork o perating the vil lage. Th e village was incor porated und er special act of th e legislature on F ebruary 2 3, 186 1, but it may have only include d North Pl ainfiel d. In Ap ril 1869, Pla infiel d was agai n incorp orated by specia l act,including both the north and south divisions, and on June 30, 1877, it was incorpo rated unde r the general law of the state.63 The fir st Board o f Trustee s of the villa ge incl uded J. Mc Callis ter,Presiden t; Georg e N. Chit tenden, clerk; Robert We bb; Jonath an Hagar; and John D. Shref fler.64 The early business for the newly establishe d government dealt with the laying of wooden sidewalks,fencing since livestock roamed, and election procedures. Lic ensing for exhibitions, shows, and fairs,as well a s liquo r li censing and dealing with disorderly c onduct were also early top ics.65 Utilities became an issue toward the turn of the c entury, wi th a water system for the vill age established in 1895. In 1907, the Wester n Unite d Gas Co mpany of Aurora was granted a franchi se to l ay their mains; the Economy Light and Power Company was granted a franchise to install poles and string lines in 1909.66 Churches Plainfield gained a reputation for having an unusual number of churches given the community’s size,earning the name “Vil lage of Churches .”67 With the influence of Rev erend Walker and his success or Reverend Beggs, the Methodists erected the first church in Plainfield in 1836. It was replaced by a second build ing , constructed on Lockport Street, about 1845. Their third building, the extant
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 23 limestone building, was con structed in 1866 at a c ost of about $22,000. By 1878, the congregation had more than three hundred members.68 The Bapt ist con gregatio n was org anized on Octobe r 16,1834, building their first church in the fal l of 1836 at a cost o f $2,500; by th e writing of the 1878 History of Will County , that building was being used as a bla cksmith’s shop. T he congregatio n built a new church in 1857 at a cost between $4,500 and $5,000. By 1878 , the membership was 131. The Congregational Church was organiz ed in Se ptember 1834 by Reverend N. C. Clarke, who had been preaching in the v icinity as earl y as 1832 and 1833. The congregation’s church, which remains extant, was constructed in 1850 at a cost of $2,200, “exclusive of the foundation,” and was dedicated i n June 1851.69 Membersh ip was ne ar eighty by 1878. The Evange lical C hurch was b uilt in 1855 at a cost of about $3,000. Membership was 113 at the t ime of t he 1878 History of Will County . That congregation operated the Northwestern Coll ege which located in Plainfie ld in 1851. The frame,two story C ollege building cost $10,000 to construc t. In 1869, th e Coll ege was reloca ted to Naperville, leaving the building vacant until 1871, when the Fox River Union Co llege opened under the ausp i ces of the Congregational Church. However, by 1872, it changed ownership again,becoming the Plainfield Academy; the building was later destroyed by fire.70 The Universalist Church was built in 1868 at a cos t of $6,000. Commer ce & the Cent ral Busine ss Distr ict Plainfi eld’s commerci al deve lopmen t c ontinued to prosper. John Sargent and J onathon Hagar opened the firs t store in Plain field.71 After 1850, George B ennett (a lso Bennitt) m oved twelve buildings from various parts of the community and set the m on eve ry other lot to create the original central business district. The lots in between required only the construction of front and rear walls,as well a s a flo or and a roof, which accounts for the dive rse architec tural fo rms in the original frame construction.72 By the late nineteen th century, the scene along the Lockport Street business district was one of a bust ling co mmercial area, pa cked with buildings . The 1878 History of Will C ounty lists the following business establi shments in Plainfield at that time: two gene ral dry g oods and grocery stores, two groc ery and h ardware stores , two drug store s, one bo ok and s tatione ry store , one fu rniture store, one hot el, one restaura nt, tw o live ry stabl es, fiv e blacks mith shop s, three wagon sh ops, fo ur practicing physic ians, two cider mills, barber shops, meat markets, harness shops, tailor sho ps, paint shops, millinery shops, etc., “but neither saloo ns nor l awyers.”73 Romanes que Revi val and Italian ate style buildings date to this pe riod, a time of substantial growth in the mid-late nine teenth century.Railroads eventually came through Plainfie ld, considerably later than for many communities. Rail lines had been opened the entire length of the Santa Fe Trail befo re Plainfield got rail serv ice. The Joliet , Aurora and Northern Railway was founded on March 22, 1884. After a survey between Jolie t and Aurora, th rough the Village of Plai nfield , the land was purchased and a contract was awarded to Milton Wood and George Edwards of Evanst on; the railroad was comp leted o n August 15, 1886.74 By 1888, the li ne was l eased to the Elgin, Joliet and Easte rn Railway Company. It became the main hauler of freight from the Joliet steel mills.75 The El gin, Jol iet and E astern Ra ilway C ompany F reight Depot and Passenger Station remains from this era; it was moved in 1999 from its original location along the trac ks, eas t of Main Street, to Lock port Stre et/Route 126, at the n orthw est cor n er with the DuPage River. The E.J. & E. Railway, however , was primarily a freight line, with irregular

Rail way ende d.Fire and weather have unfortu nately done muc h to shap e the fa ce of Pl ainfiel d’s built enviro nment.A fire in 1881 occurred mid-block of the south side of Lockport Street, causing substantial damage.The fire of 1891 destroyed much of the business district, with new construction drastical ly changing the appeara nce of Lockpo rt Street, ushering in a modern era.76 Most of the buil dings lo st to the fire were frame in construc tion; two out of the three whi ch survived (a ll on the n orth side of Loc kport Street) were brick,77 and separated the frame Corbin & Chitten den Dry Goods a nd Groce ry Store (l ater the A.C. Steine r Shop) f rom the f ire. Rathe r uniquel y, many o f the buil dings whi ch were destroyed were gable front two story commercial buildings which reflected the G reek Revival and Gothic Revival styles of the earlier devel opment period in the vill age. Varying substantially i n h eight,despite all bei ng two st ories, t he buildi ngs were intersp ersed among la ter “False Front” vernacular buildings with the Italianate style, con cealing lower gable front roo fs behind . A raised wooden sidewal k united the bloc k. In 1892, the Mas ons purc hased two lots f or the co nstru ction of their ne w lodge along L ockport Street. Plans f or the two story metal roofed building were drawn by J.E. Minott, an architect from Aurora. Mall and Doane, contractors f rom Aurora, won the construction b id, just u nder $8,000.The building was comp leted by Decembe r 1892 and has always been distinctive for its onion shaped corner dome.78 Wylie and Whitley’s Busy Corner occupied the first sto ry of the building at one time.A new buil ding for th e P lainfield Academy was compl eted in 1882, erected upon the stone foundation of the college building which had burned. The cost was estimated at $10,000.79 The school included elementary grades as we ll as high school. In 1915, a red brick high school was built on the corner of Division and Lockport streets at a cos t of $25,000. It was desi gned by Herbert Cowell, a Will County native an d architect, who also designed a number of o ther buildings in Plainfi eld. He was one of the most prolific architects in the village.80 The bu ilding was loca ted directly in front of the earlier building, set in close proximity in a rather odd siting. By 1920, six country school s conso lidated with Plai nfield school s, with the country landm arks bei ng sold .81 When the new elementary school was built, the block bordered by Division, Lo ckport, and Bartlett incl u ded a succes sion of th ree sch ool bui ldings built over more than sev enty years; the old high s chool and earlier grade school/high school remained with the rear/west reentrant angle of the new buff brick grade school.The replacement buildings, all brick, were handsomely in place before the 1898 82 fire destroyed much of the south side of the same bl ock. Included was the Opera House, which had just been constructed in 1889, on the southwest corner of Lockport and Il linois streets, and two adjacent buildings. Much of that side had also been frame in construction. A water tower was constructed in 1897, looming over the south side of the Lock port Street commercial buildings, then streetcar tracks were added in 1904, with the tracks running down the center of the dirt Lockport Stree t. In 1898, C.W. Marcks of Chicago , owner o f the famous race horse “Joe Patchen,” and also a shoe company , rebuilt on the

The Evarts bank relocated in the corne r of the down stairs;upstairs was a theater with a stage on the south end, and little balconi es (pe rhaps lo ge boxes) to each side.83 The “clock tower” building remains extant. The Sennitt Building was als o rebuil t, with the Enterprise newspaper operating in the back f or twenty years.84 Early Twen tieth Cen tury Industry Grain continu ed to pl ay an imp ortant ro le in v illage life. The Barr E levato r an d the Kirsten and Smiley Eleva tor were on the south side of Main Street, just west o f the rail road track s. Aroun d 1910 - 1912, owners hip of t hose two eleva tors cha nged, with the deat h of Jame s Smile y in 1910 and the subsequent formatio n of a s tock co mpany in 1912; th en the Plai nfield Grain co mpany bou ght out the Kirsten Elevator shortl y thereafter, accumulating other regional e l evato rs in addi tion to the Plainfield facilities.85 The company constructed the ext ant ele vator, we st acros s from th e earlier site,in 1921. In 1922, the brick office building, now occupied by t he Plain field Historical Society and Museum, was con structed. The el evator had a cap acity of 100,000 bush els. I t operat ed until 1970 when the company was liq uidated.86 Lockwood Dairy may very we ll hav e one o f the mor e intere sting his tories o f deve lopmen t a m ong businesses in the v illage . When Mrs. Roy (Es tella) Lockwoo d was wido wed in 1909 an d left w ith two small sons to raise on her o wn, she decided to make the most of her smal l farm on James Street and go into the dairy business.87 Reportedly, Mrs. Lockwood tend ed to the cows, while her two sons delivered milk to houses in a child’s wagon. By 1922, they were able to purchase pasteurizing eq uipment and delivered the milk by hors e and wagon.88 The successful ope ration even tuall y expanded to produce cheese and butter, with milk supp lies being picked up from Model T box type trucks.89 The new modern plant was ope ned in 1950. The busin ess was operate d by Mrs. L ockwood ,her son Cecil, then her s on Zerrell, then his son Jerry.Electric Park In 1904, the Joliet, Plai nfield and Aur ora Railwa y Company (Aur ora, Pla infiel d & Joliet Railway Company after 1 905)develop ed the twe nty-acre Electr ic Park. T he purpo se of t he park w as to stimulate business for the electric line, but the park obviously prov ided ye ars of enjo yment fo r the region as well. Located alo ng the Du Page River near the west end of the business district , the par k encompassed twenty acres which had formerly been the cow pasture of John Sennitt .90 It featured a toboggan slide, a large tent, and the s team engine which powered the merry-go-round on the west side of the river; o n the ea st side were the bandstand , the boat hous e and la nding, and the restauran t. Curvi linear wal kways lined with benches between broad grassy areas gave plenty o f opportunities for picnicking and relaxatio n. An internat ional gasol ine engine display, two-l ane bowling alley, dance pavil ion, and a concession stand were also among the park’s f eatures, in addition to a grand stand and athleti c fiel d, and a 5,000 s eat audito rium. Swimming and boating wer e also included, with bath ers carrying small, flat-bottom toboggans up a steep flight of stai rs to sl ide down the adjac ent chute , usuall y two to a tobogga n.

The p ark included more than eighty cottages and a substan tial camp ground.A tunnel facilitated pedestrian traffic under Route 30. As was typical of such de velopments of this time, t h e cottages were for seas onal use only; howev er, the cottages of Elec tric Park were rather unique. The gable front, one story cottages had wood fl oors, wit h board sides built up about fifteen inches from the ground. Rather than wood walls, the remainder of the cottage cons isted of canvas sides with scr een doo rs and windows. Naturally, each cottage had el ectric lights, gas, and sewer/wat er.92 Shed roof front porches extended off the gable fronts and p rovided relaxing space f or social izing. Rows of cottage s faced each ot her, with an ample grass all e !e between, lined with trees.The park’s a uditorium wa s used f or Will County Chautauqua s which we re held annually for se veral years during the last week of July and the f irst wee k of Augu st. In ad dition to ample s eating, t he auditorium include d a stage and pip e organ. The Aurora, Plainfield and Jolie t Elect ric Comp any went out of bu siness in 1923, as t he era o f the automobi le was well initiated. Lawrence “Butch” J. Crowley purchase d the par k prope rty in 1923,and began to divide the cottage area and sell lots.93 The Auditorium continued to be used as a dance hall and roller skating rink and by 1975, it was the only original building s tanding. In the late 1970s,it was use d as a ware house an d school bus garage , then was eventu ally de molishe d.94 Recreati on in the area ev entuall y inclu ded Lake Rewick. The location of the lake was originally a small gravel pit for township use. The first gravel was strippe d off in the l ate nine teenth c entury, bu t the water did not appear until sometime late r, around 1915, thus forming Lake Renwick.95 The resulting lake meant that some early structures were moved elsewhere, incl uding to the village, for continued use.From Trail s to the Automo bile Era Roads continu ed to be part of Plainfi eld’s developmental history into the early twentieth century, as the Lincoln Highway Association included Lockport Street in its plan for the first transcontinental route from New York to San Francisco. The road was the vision of Carl G. Fisher of Indianapol is,who created the Indi anapol is Motor Speedwa y, p aving it with bri ck and in augurating the Indianap olis 500 i n 1911.96 Fishers’s comprehensi ve in terest in automobiles included founding Pres t-O-Lite Company, which made carbide headlights, providing the only reliable lig ht for night driving before the all -electric car.97 Others had contemplated a coast to coast road; the American Automobile Ass ociation had suggested one as early as 1902. What was unique about Fis her’s ef forts was that he wa s the fi rst to propose a road with a real improvement plan and the means to finance i t.98 In Septe mber 1912,Fisher began pr omoting t he Coast-to-Coast Highway, a gravel highway th at he had proj ected could be built fo r about te n milli on doll ars, a lo w figure e ven fo r 1912.99 Fisher’s plan provide d for t h e money to be used for basic road building materials, with labo r and machi nery bei ng prov ided by th e counties, towns, and cities along the yet undetermi ned route . His v ision ha d perfe ct timing: the automobil e was wel l establ ished by 1912, but roads were not. Winter and wet weather had meant
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 27 that the some 180,000 automobiles which were registered by 1910 would s pend subs tantial time out of use. And with the Panama-Pacific Exposition only two and one-half years away, San Francisco would make a logical destination.100 The network of adviso rs alon g the pro posed r oad was e xtensiv e and inc luded Pl ainfiel d’s own U.S.G.Blakely, owner and editor of the Enterpr ise . The net work of “c onsuls ” numbered 263 and Blake ly’s tenure lasted an astonis hing twen ty-six years, i ncluding being se lected as a dire ctor.101 Blakel y’s efforts to faci litate the new modern highways passage through th e vill age were extens ive. He wrote letters , printe d many ed itorial s in his newspap er, and even traveled to Detroit to examine the new concret e road that had been used there.102 Blakely even helped convince Illinoi s Governor Dunne to create a state highway department. Plainfie ld’s portion of the road, named Linco lnway, followed the main stre ets of the vil lage. I t was pav ed in 1921 by the Ralp h H. Newkirk Const ruction Company of Jol iet.Perhaps surprisi ngly, Il linois and Iowa had prov ed to be the most difficult states in which to de velop the best route. The route was to eventually pass through Omaha and because of Illino is’s flat terrain,the normal adher en ce to rail lines was not as essential. Reportedly some fi fty routes wer e possible across the state. The route that was finally sele cted was a route which had already been used by cros s continental drives which had occurred , first i n 1903. In 1908, t he Great Race came through th e same route.103 One of the last acts of the Lincoln Highway Ass ociation was to mark the highway;the Association chose concrete markers to o fficially dedicate the highway to Abraham Lincoln. In a rather unusual event, the 3,000 markers were erected on September 1, 1928 at 9:00 A.M. by boy s cout troops across the country. A pparently only 2,436 of the 220 pound markers w ere actuall y erected , with the fate of the extra markers unkno wn.104 On June 15, 2000, the Lincoln Highway was designat ed as a N ational Scenic Byway. The highway u shered i n a new e ra of automobile dominance, with auto-related buildings to fol low.One such building was the Standard Oil Gasoline Station at 600 West Lockport Street. Constructed in 1932, the station had a prime corner location. It was l isted in the National Register of Hi storic Places in 1984.In the early twentie th centur y, Plain field e xperie nced ex pansion along i ts easte rn border. Hartong ’s Subdivision was approved on July 1, 1926, and consisted of the area bounded by Lo ckport, Miles, and Ottawa streets. Despite the later subdivision date, extant buildings from Plainfield’s earliest e ra of development still remain in this are a, even at the e asternmo st ends of both L ockport and Ottawa streets. In 1925, the library was established, with the Nimmons and McCles ter families endowing the library. Initially the library was in a small building just east of the origi nal part of the P lainfield National Bank , unti l the new library was constructed in 1941. Local builder and designer Clifton Brown con structed the Geo rgian Rev ival bui lding.105 America’s “mother road,” as author John Steinbeck c alled it, ev entuall y found its way t hrough Plainfield as other less modern trails had in the past. In 1940, an alt ernativ e route t o Route 66
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 28 offered travelers the choice o f driving to Joliet or taking the other route a little farther to the west to go to Plainfield. Both choice s in the fork in the road were sti ll Route 66, eventually linking up in Gardne r. Howeve r, since the route through Pl ainfiel d was not part of the orig inal sy stem,inaugurated in 1926, this particular spur is not widely vie wed as being particularly significant within the road’s history. In fact, The Route 66 Travele r’s Guide and Roadside Compani on by To m Synder,the founder of the Route 66 Association, doe s not even recommend follo wing this spur on a modern version of the exp erience of traveling the route.106 Into the 21 st Century Plainfield continu ed to ex perienc e industr ial growt h even after the 1960s, i ncluding Continental Ca n (later Kerr Gl ass), Mc Laughlin Manufact uring, Radi ation Po lymer, a nd the an nexatio n of the industrial park area near Van Dyke Road. Resi dential areas such as Newkirk/Pratt/Highview/Union developed in the l ate 1950 s and after, as well as o ther cul-de-sac areas such as Penn Road and Lakeside. Ar chitect urally, the per iod revival styles su ch as Tudor R evival and Colonial R evival,were supplanted by Ranch houses, ushering i n a modern era of residential c onstruction.On August 28, 1990, the Village of Plai nfield was hit by yet ano ther torn ado, its most ser ious devastation from weather. In a swath whic h cut across the southwestern sectio n of the village, just west of the Village Gree n, across James, Fox River, and Commercial stree ts, th e tornado caused extensive da mage and dem olition, including Plainfield Hi gh School. The resulting new c onstruction along James, Ottawa, and Fox River, changed the appearance and feel of that sectio n of the village,affecting historic district potential to the western extent of the village.Plainfie ld’s hi story may realistically be most affected by the current conte xt of growth and develo pment. Be tween 1990 an d 2000, the v illage ’s popul ation in creased by 186%, fro m 4,557 to 13,038. In 2002, a special census was c ompleted and the population was 21,000, prompting yet anothe r special census at the e nd of 2005. T he vil lage po pulatio n is now 30,314, with the Northeas tern Illino is Plann ing Commi ssion p rojectin g a popul ation of 65,774 for Pla infiel d by 2030.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLES/VERNACULAR BUILDING TYPES IN PLAINFIELD Buildings can be viewed as puzz les of sorts, w ith the different pieces–the roof, the windows, the door placeme nt, the decoration–forming one picture. Then groupi ngs of buildings, even community -wide ,can be pieces of a broader puz zle, putting together a picture of how and when a communit y develo ped.Buildings ca n be organized and analyzed by looking at details, architectural el ements, scale and ma ssi ng, and width and depth. This generally f alls into two categories: architectural style and ve rnacular bu ilding types. Familiarity with architectural sty les and vernacular building types is helpful not only in describ ing buildi ngs and deter mining arc hitectura l s ignif icance, but also in understanding our communit ies in a br oader scope. Architectural styl es and vernacular building types h elp to illust rate how o ur communit ies dev elope d, perio ds of ou r history where more gro wth occurred , what the favored tastes of the times w ere, a nd more. Moreov er, regis tration p rograms such as the N a tiona l Register of Historic Place s and local designations provide for eligibility o f properties through significance in architectural styl e. Criterion C for Architecture is by far the most commonly used Criterion for eligibility to the Nation al Register, whether for individual or historic district listings.Architectural style can be hi gh styl e, infl uence o r eleme nts of a style , or trans itional , sho wing a combinati on of s tyles and infl uence. High style exampl es of a rchitect ural sty le are built according to the principles of n ational or regional, readily i dentifiable styles. As such, true high sty le build ings should have many attributes of a styl e, textbook illustrations of the epitome of the particular s tyle.More typica lly, bui ldings h ave el ements of a style or sho w influence of a sty le. Such examples may have only a few details or features of a style . Sometimes, such influence may be so minim al, that only a building’s roof line and windows may show influence. Architec tural styles generally follow specific periods and provide a time line o f development throughou t our country. The east coast has o lder styles which we general ly do n ot have in Ill inois, f or e xample true Colonial and G eorgian architecture. As Illinois dev eloped along river c orridors, older styles of architecture are clustered in these areas and may not occur at all in areas such as the prairie lands of Central Illinois. Similarly,the occurrence of a pa rticula r archi tectural style may be later in Illinois versus Ohio, f or example,with the Fe deral st yle in Ohio dati ng from c . 1790 - 1840, ve rsus c. 1830 - c. 1865 in Il linois . In more recent years, the typol ogy, or way to organize buildings, has exp anded to include vernacular buildings, a large category which identif ies buil dings more by plan, shape/size, an d function. Rather than having been influenced by archite cts of the time, vernacular buildings are general ly defined as non-academic buildings which were constructed according to the methods traditional within a particular locality or region, or to a particul ar group of people. Un like architectural styles, v ernacular buildings may date to much bro ader time spans, with some forms such as the Hal l and Parl or and the I-House spanning nearly sev en decades. Therefore, vernacular buildings typ es are not as helpful in determining the date of a building as architectural s tyle can be.
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 30 Important to note is t hat some buildings may reflect architec tural style and a vernacular building type. Some ex amples may eve n be con sidered to be hig h sty le exam ples o f a styl e, yet a t the co re exhibit a common vernacular building form. In fact, some architectural styles were rath er commonly paired with vernacular building types, for ex ample, the Side Hall Plan with the Italianate style and the Upright and Wing with the Greek Reviv al style.Architectural Terminology Architectural terminol ogy can take ye ars to learn and can be rather over whelming. Numerous st yle guides ar e avail able fo r assist ance; s ome of t hese are listed in the Re ferenc es sec tion of this rep ort.Several terms might be useful to know in getting through the following styl e and vernacular building type de scripti ons. •The size of buildings is ty pically counted in “bays” for width and “pile s” for depth. The use of “bays” here is dis tinctively d ifferent from a “bay window,” a feature which is typical ly a semi-hexagonal one or two story p rojectio n with win dows. Here “bay” is simply how many openings are across the f irst story of a house –windows and doors . Similarl y, “pile s” are the number of openings along th e side of the house. This termino logy is especially usefu l w ith regard to vernacular b uilding types because the pat tern of bays and piles substant ially hints at the interior arrangement of the buildin g. For example, a three bay, on e pile house would most likel y be a Ha ll and P arlor ho use typ e, being only tw o rooms in composition (see below).•“Wings” could be original or at le ast hist oric ex tension s of buil dings, u sually off the rear elevation. The term “addition” would mean that an extension has been confirmed to have been added la ter, possibly not hist oricall y. Many historic buildings were co nstructe d with wings originally, sometimes in diff ering materials, usually in differing heights.The following provides a highlight of the architectural style s and vernacular buildings types which are most commonly found in the Village of Plainf ield. Generally, s tyles and types which had only ten or fewer examples are not discussed in this report. However, a fe w of the styles discuss ed, such as Gothic Reviva l and Mediter ranean, have only a few examples, but were i ncluded in this r eport.These were included because signif icant examples are within the surve y, some of which have been recommended for lo cal des ignation s. Modern styles (styles less than fifty years old) were not included in this report. For additional information on these and other styles, a variety of style guides are liste d in the Reference section at the end of this report. For v ernacular building forms, How to Complete the Ohio His toric Invento ry by Steph en C. Go rdon of the Ohio Histori c Preservat ion Office is reco mme nded as an excellent, e asy to use guide, which also incl udes architectural styles and architectural terminol ogy. Whi le obvi ously t he publication is geared toward construction in Ohio,it is generally appl icable to Il linois as wel l. It was used as the chief source for vernacular building summaries in this report.
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 31 As a side n ote, two architectural features are found with some f requency in the surv ey are, and are rather uni que to Pl ainfiel d. These are the triangula r oriel and trifo il/quatre foil/s exfoil attic sa sh.The sexfoil atti c window on the left is a feature of 807 N. D esPlaines Street. The triang ular oriel on the right is a featu re of 719 N. Bartlett Avenue . Both feature s are found rath er commonly throughout the villa ge, although most of the windows are trifoil or q uatrefoil, meani ng three or fou r-lobed windo ws rather than s ix as that s hown on the left.Architectural Styles Greek Revival The Greek Revival style is by far the mos t outstanding architectural representation in the V illage of Plainfi eld. Despite common in tegrity issues, the qual ity of d esign an d quantity of exa mples o f the style in Plain field i s partic ularly striking . The occurrence of the Greek Revival style in Plainfiel d is especially significant, given the general lack of the sty le throu ghout the State of Illinois . Particular to the occurrence of the use of the style is its common use in conjunction with vernacular building types, chiefl y the Up right and W ing, Gabl ed E ll, an d Gable F ront for ms. Moreover, the style is reflected in the proportions of a number of houses throughout the community, a sense o f scale and massing–small houses which are not quite two stories, but have a usable upper s tory.The Greek Re vival style was gene rally u sed fro m c. 1820 - c. 1865; examples in Illin ois are in general later than more eastern examples of the style, as is typi cal with other st yles. But as sty les are barometer s of time lines of de velopment in the United States, the occurrenc e of these ea rlier ninetee nth century styles in what was the “western” part of the coun try les sens s ubstantial ly than the occurrence of the style , for example, in Indiana, certainl y in Ohio.The Gr eek Revival styl e was substantially inspired by archae ological excavations and measu re d dr awings of ancient Greek templ es; the style promoted the use of classical ideals an d eleme nts .Significantly, carpent ers in the United States did m uch to popular ize the style, wit h the style

Pattern books such as Minard Lafever’s Moder n Builder’s Guide (1833) and Beauties of Modern Architecture (1835) promot ed the s tyle. Applications of the s tyle may vary gre atly, f rom the s tereoty pical S outhern ma nsion to the formal,yet simple forms more associate d with vernacular building types as the way the s tyle is implemented in Plainfield. Elements of the style may incl ude columns or pilasters, ofte n Doric o r Ionic orders;trabeated entranc es (a do or with narrow sidelights and a short transom), often recessed, with Latin cross- or two-pan eled do ors; 9/6 o r 6/6 windows; flat lintels and s ills; cornice returns and so metimes heavy entablatures; and frieze windows, short rectan gular wind ows which illu minates the u pper half story on the side of the gable. T he frieze windows a re common ly set within a defined cornice at the top of the main facade, which would not appear to have a real u pper st ory; the side gab le end more clearly exposes the upper story, usually with ful l-height windows.In Greek Revival Archit ecture in America: being an account of impor tant trends in American Arc hitecture and American life prior to the War Betwe en the St ates (New York: Dover, 1944), Talbot Hamlin speaks of the “Greek elemen t” coming in early to Ill inois and rapidly dominating the architectural s cene.107 Particula rly notable is Haml in’s highlight of the Dennison Gre en House on Main Stre et in Pl ainfiel d.In the 1840s the gre ater sk ill and sop histica tion of the ar chitec t-builde rs and the designers becomes evident in houses more imaginative in design and more creat ive in detail. Such for example is the D ennison G reen ho use (pro bably of the 1840s) at Pla infield, a beautiful one-and-a-half-story cottage with a hipped roof, a reces sed porc h, a fo rmal and c lever pla n, and a charmin g sense o f propo rtion i n the fr ieze wi ndows and their relatio n to th e openin gs below.108 Included are the front elevation , and first and second floor plans as done by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1935. The floor plans show a central hal l and Four-over-Four plan; a kitchen was added later to the r ear. He notes, “F ormality without o stentati on.” Haml in goes on to no te Illinois as havi ng vario us examp les of the L- o r T-plan house wi th a recessed porch in the reentrant angle, against the side wing, a type that he notes was common in Michigan and Ohio.109 Important to note is that at th e time Ha mlin com pleted this boo k–1944–the typology for vernac ular buil dings that we have now was not in use. One of the other Illino is Greek Revival e xamples that he illustrates is cle a rly an U pright an d Wing Ho use (New ton Farmho use nea r Belvid ere), but he label s it a “variatio n of the T-shape d house.”110 Forty-ei ght buildi ngs in th e surve y were l isted as having G reek Rev ival s tyle. A s with man y of the styles, the majority of examples o f Greek Revival ex hibited the influenc e of the style, rather than being full high style ex amples. Building with the influence o f the style totaled thirty.

Divis ion Street was bu ilt c. 1855 and exhibi ts Greek Revival i nfluence th rough cornice re turns and frieze wind ows. As is typ ical in Plainfi eld, the st yle is used on a vernacular house form, i n this case , the Gabled Ell (left). The small scale house at 40 9 W. Commercia l Street exhibits the influence of the style through corni ce returns on its Gable Front vernacular form. Th is house also has Greek Revi val proportions, having a short er upper story, with f rieze windows on the sid e elevation of the gable.Flander s House, 507 W. Main Street, is among the few high s tyle examples of Greek Reviva l in the village (left). The James Matth ews Hou se at 1 115 N. Mill Street, 1837 , is among the earliest examples of the style in the village (right ).Gothic Revival Generally, the Gothic Revival style in the United States dates from c. 1830 - c. 1880, and was a style which revived the spirit and forms of true Gothic architecture in Europe. Perhaps the style’s most striking applications are found on c hurches, some public buildings, and occasional castle-like buildings, but more commonly it was applied to “country cottages.” Promoted substanti ally th rough pattern books which became w idely available during this period, the Gothic Revival style was especially popularized through the works of Andre w Jackso n Downin g (1815 - 1852) and Alexander Jackson Davi s (1803 - 1893). Davis’s Rural Residences , published in 1837, and Downing’s Cotta ge
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 34 Residenc e s , published in 1842, espoused the romantic and picturesque qualitie s of the style,particular ly for the so-called “country cottage.” An emphasis on ve rticality, pointed arch windows,stee ply-pitched gables with deco rative ba rgeboards , labelm olds, an d board and batten s iding wer e commonly found featur es on these cottag es. Brick versi ons might b e detaile d with c astle-like battleme nts and e laborate chimney s. In How to Complete the Ohio Historic Inventory , Stephen C. Gordon identif ies thre e diffe rent pe riods of Gothic Revival , disting uished as Gothic Revival , c. 1835 - c. 1870; High Victorian Gothic, c. 1870 - c. 1885 ; and Late Goth ic Revival, c. 1900 - c. 1930. Other style guides also dis tinguish between different periods of the Goth ic Revival, even using the term “Carp enter Go thic” for the frame cottage versions of the style. The High Victori an Gothi c was use d more co mmonly f or public and rel igious buildings than for residen tial arc hitecture . Polyc hromatic w alls wh ich mixe d b rick and stone,complex gable roofs with dormers and towers, and incised ornament were among the el ements of this later versio n of the style, which appeared heavier and more exaggerated in its application. Venetian,French, and German influences brought a more ecl ectic appearan ce to the s tyle. J ohn Ruski n, a noted author an d philan thropist from Eng land, pro moted t he style there, arguing for contrasting textures achieved through a combination of mater ials . The Late Gothic or Colle giate Gothic Revival style was applied almost sol ely to rel igious and institutional buildings, particularly schoo l and univers ity buildings . The ea rly twen tieth ce ntury version of this styl e reverted back to more simple,pure adaptati ons of true Goth ic form, retainin g the po inted arc h eleme nts, but us ing a much more restrained application of detail. Smooth limestone or brick walls with minimal stone tr im were common. L ancet wi ndows and quatrefo ils were also us ed. In Plainfield, the earlie st version of the style occurs in companion with later versions of the Gre ek Reviva l styl e. Only three bui ldings i n the survey were re corded as be ing Goth ic Revi val in style, with anot her fiv e buildin gs showi ng the influen ce of t he styl e. 901 N. Eastern Avenue, c. 1858 - 60 (left) is an excellent example of th e Gothic Revi val style, with steeply-p itched gable wall dormers and barge board. 223 W. Mai n Stree t, c. 18 52 (right), exh ibits th e Gothic Revi val style through the gable wall d ormer and shouldered la belmolds. However, the house also has a number of characteristics of the Greek Revival and Itali anate styles. Bot h houses are recommended fo r local landmark designa tion.
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 35 Romanesque Revival As was typical of many styles, the Romanesque Rev ival style was insp ired by E uropean trends. In the U nited States, R ichard Up john and James Re nwick wer e the fi rst two ar chitects to desi gn in the Romanesq ue Revival style. Ren wick’s Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., completed in 1848, inspired interest in the Romanesque Revival style. Maso nry construction, round arches,corbeli ng, square o r polyg onal to wers, wal ls divi ded by bel t course s, and 6/6 o r 4/4 side el evati on windows are features of the styl e. While generally the style dat es fr om c. 1850 to c. 1880, the influence of the style can s till be seen up to the turn of the century, particularly in reli gious and commercial buildings in small and mid-si ze d towns. Frequently the influence of the style is so minimal that round arc hed windo ws and min or corbe ling may be the only features to re flect the style.Most examples of th e style are symmet rical.The Romanesque Rev ival style is u sed minimally in the village, li mited to th ese two commerci al buildings along Lockpo rt Street. An excellent exa mple is the Robertson Building at 51 9 W. Lockport (le ft) which is recommended for local l andmark s tatus, as well as contri buting to re commended hsi toric distri cts. Built c . 1892, the Robertson Building includes co ntinuous s tone lintels and sills, and an arcaded parapet; the storefro nt has also been restored. The nearby buildi ng at 515 W. Lockport (righ t), was also cons tructed c. 1892, and e xhibits the influe nce of the s tyle.Italian ate The Italianate st yle was argua bly the most popular residential and comme rcial s tyle o f the mid-late ninetee nth century. Coinciding with a period of great population growth, an d commercia l and industrial expans ion, the style is commonly found thr oughout Il linois . Key f eatures of the s tyle ar e low-pitched hip roofs, broad overhangs, shaped brackets on broad cornices, taller 2 vertical /2vertical double-hung sash, round or segmentally arched windows, an d hoodmolds. For commercial buildings,

A boxy , square shape was gene rally u sed in re sidenti al vers ions of the sty le, whic h were al most alwa ys two s tories.Porches typica lly hav e square or chamf ered woo den pos ts and porch cornices often mimic the main house cornice. Given the time period and styl istic e lements , the sty le als o compan ioned we ll with the Side Hall Pl an vern acular f orm. Like the Gothic Revival sty le, the Italianate style also began in England as p art of the Pic turesque movemen t, a reaction to the classic al ideals in a rchitect ure that ha d dominate d for ne arly two hundred years. There, rambling informal Italian farmhouses served as inspiration. In somewhat of a contradiction, Italian architecture from the Renaissance or ancien t Rome had led to t he prev ious era of cla ssical ly ins pired arc hitecture . In the United S tates, mo re formal versio ns of th e Itali anate style, based on the pala zzo, fell under the Renaiss ance Rev ival s tylisti c label ; the te rm “Italian Villa”is sometimes used for versions which are either boxy with symmetrical balance and have a belvedere,or are asymmetrical with square tower features. Of fifty Italianate buildings recorded in the survey,only eight were high style examples.The Ital ianate style appears more commo nly as an influenc e in Plainfie ld. However, the village does h ave some excellent examples of t he style. The Corbin House at 15133 N. Division/State R oute 59 (left) has been moved to its current locati on and h as synt heti cally si ded wal ls; ho wever, the hous e retains many of its original It alianate featu res including pedi mented drip c aps ove r windo ws, cor ner bay, and hi ghly en livene d corni ce. An outstanding example of the style is at 718 N. Bartlett Avenue (right). It, too, featu res a highly e nlivened cornic e, prominent d rip caps, and a truncated h ip roof simi lar to the Corbi n House.French S econd Empir e The shorter-lived French Second Empire style was used from c. 1855 - c. 1885. It is distincti ve for the use of a Mansard roof, a d ouble-p itched ro of which opene d up the attic level for use as a thir d story. T he Mansard roof also provided an other potential palle tte for architec tural orn ament, wit h its steep f ron t pitch exposure frequently decorated with colorful slate shingles creating a pattern.Otherwise, the style has m any of the same attributes as the so mewhat concurrent Italianate style,
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 37 incl uding talle r 2 vertical/2 vertical double-hung sash, wide co rnice bands, shaped brackets, and porches with square or chamfered wood posts and brackets. The dist inctive roof was named fo r 17 th -century architec t Francoi s Mansart . The revival of the roof occurred during the reign o f Napoleon III in France (1852-1870), and the style’s use in America was seen as being very modern, reflecting the latest French bui lding tre nds. In some ca ses, Ita lianate style houses were rem odeled ,incorporating the new, fashionable roo f line, which also added the pra cticality of incr easing usab le space in the h ome. How ever, the sty le was n ot limit ed to residential use. It was als o used for many public buildings in the United States during the Grant administration.While no high style examples of the style are found in Pl ainfield, the influence o f the style is pe rhaps uniquely seen particularly on porches o f T-Plan houses. Even in this o ccurrence, the porch roof is not exactly a true Ma nsard, bu t rather a st eep shed or pent roof , which topped with a fla t roof.Neverth eless , the int ent is c learly a refle ction o f the Fre nch Seco nd Empire style . The French Second Empi re styl e app ears mi nimally in th e villa ge, bu t incl udes exampl es at 2 22 N. Joli et Road /U.S.Route 30 (left) and 711 N. Cente r Street (right ). The uniqu e flared Mansard roof on 222 N. Joliet Road is t he chief expression of the style. The Mansar d-lik e porc h roof on 711 N. Center is more t ypical of how the style i s used as an influence in the villag e. These qu asi-Mansard roof porches, more a broad truncate d hip roof as to mimic a Mans ard,are quite c ommon on T-Plan hous es in the village.Queen Anne Variety is the simplest way to s ummarize the Queen Anne style: wall surface s varied with fish scale and other pattered shingles, asymmetrical facades with gabled pavilions and bays, a v aried roof line with multiple roof types or multipl e gables , windows of vari ous typ es or gro uped in v arious pairs and sets, and ela borate porche s which o ften wrap facades to side eleva tions. T he Queen Anne style was popular particul arly fo r domesti c archite cture in the l ate nine teenth century , c. 1880 - c. 1905. The impetus f or the s tyle wa s the Centennial Expositio n of 1876 in Philadelphia; the designs of English Vict orian era arc hitect Rich ard Norma n Shaw was also an influence, as h is work had b een widely published in archi tectural journals . Palliser’s Model Homes , 1 878, and Comstoc k’s Modern Architec tural
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 38 Designs and Det ails , 1881, were among the publications of the pe riod which featured designs and plans for Queen Anne style hous es for carpenter-builders. The Queen Anne style was als o used for commercial buildings , with var ied brick work, turre ts, round arche s, and horizontal banding being among the sty listic features . The style may be expres sed in a variety of influe nces, wi th some o f the most reduced t wo story versio ns of th e styl e havin g only a gabled pavili on and p erhaps a cut-awa y bay. Simple one sto ry co ttage ex amples of the s tyle may have p atterned shingle s and an elaborat e porch despite on a small scale house. T hirty-se ven buil dings in the survey show Qu een Anne style or influence.The house at 723 N. Bar tlett Avenue (left) is an excellent exa mple of the Queen Anne style. Its features include a two story gable front cut-away bay and a full-facade f ront porch whi ch wraps th e gable front b ay. 15003 N. Division Street/State Route 59 (ri ght) is a g ood example of t he style, wit h a similar st eeply-pit ched hip roof and gable front pavilion. It features a Classical Revival front porch . With the Queen Anne style overlapping th e Classical Revival style t oward t he lat e 19 th and ear ly 20 th centuries, this combi nation of styli stic influ ence is non u ncommon.Shingle Style Similar to the Queen Anne styl e, the Shingle Style al so features asymmetrical facades and porches.Howeve r, Shingle Style buildings are more dominate d by patte rned shi ngles–but t, fishs cale, or undulating patterns–sweeping roof lin es (usually gable), and general ly simpler building forms. The style name was coined by architec tural his torian Vi ncent Sc ully in 1955, and the style is loos ely based on late me dieval Englis h forms. The Shingle Style is a d istinctively American style which was first used for New England summer houses. Later examples of the style employed gambrel roofs, Palladian windows, and classical porch col umns, perhaps showing some influence of the Colonial Rev ival style as well. The Shing le Styl e was use d minimall y in the late ninete enth ce ntury, c. 1885 - c. 1890, and was the mo st short -lived of inf luence s at that time per iod.
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 39 The house at 722 N. Center Street (left) is an excellent exam ple of the Shingle Style, with its steeply-p itched, sweeping gable front and side gable pavilion s. The hous e at 501 N. DesPlaines (ri ght) features varie d wall materials inc luding shaped sh ingles. Both h ouses retain a high degree of int egrity and are recomme nded for National Re gister and local landmark status.Colonial Revival The Colonial Revival style was one of a number of so-called “period rev ival styles” which dominated turn of the century and early twentieth ce ntury domestic architecture. While typical ly in previo us eras more distinct periods of style would have dominated, the early to mid-twentieth century was filled with a number of overlapping perio d revival styles s uch as Colonial Revival, Tudor Reviva l,Dutch Colonia l Re vival, Georgian Revival, Medit erranean, F rench Colonial/Norman Revi val,Missions, Spanish Eclectic or Spani sh Colonial Revival , and even Late Gothic Rev ival. Colonial Revival was perh aps the longes t live d of the m all, c arrying we ll into the lat e twenti eth cen tury. The Colonial Revival style was a r eaction to wh at architects saw as an excess es of the domestic architec ture of the Victorian era, much of the nineteenth century. Architects took inspiration f rom Ameri ca’s own past, s eeking stylis tic authe nticity . Howev er, the p roportio ns of th e twenti eth cen tury adaptation were larger, with a free interpretation of Colonial elements on signif icantly larger houses.The New York architec tural fir m of McK im, Mead, a nd White was an early proponent of the style.Later the success and interest in Colon ial Wil liamsburg did much to stir a mo re broad spread interest in the s tyle. M oreove r, nation al publi cations made the style easily availa ble. Profession al journals such as Architectural Reco rd , Pencil Points , and Archit ectura l Forum provided measured drawings and photographs; more over, more readily available publications such as Ladies’ Home Journal , House Beautiful , and the White P ine Serie s pr omoted the s tyle. T he Owners Servic e Insti tute and t he

In the 1930 s and 194 0s, the style became popular for post offices, s chools, and libraries as well. The Georgian Reviv al style and Cape Cod vernac ular for m became s ubtypes of this style. Both th e Colonial Revival style a nd especially the Cape Cod vernacular building type became even more popular within the su rge of post-World War II ho using boo m.Gable or hip ro ofs with dormers; rectangu lar, almo st box-l ike for m; symmet rical mas sing, smo oth Tuscan columns or fluted pilasters ; elaborate p orticoes or full-length porches; port cocheres, rear terraces, and pati os; lar ge double-hung multi –light windows with shutters; modillions and dentils at the cornice; balustrades on roofs or porches; P al ladian windows; and side porches were common elemen ts of the style . Twenty-five Colonial Revival buildings were document in the survey; most of these (nineteen) had o nly the influence o f the style.Two excellent examples of the Coloni al Revi val sty le in Pl ainfi eld are locate d at 720 N. Center Street (left ) and 605 N. James Street (ri ght). Both h ouses featu re prominent p orches with Colonial Revival eleme nts, and have b road rectangular massi ng. Bot h hou ses are recomme nded f or local landmar k status and as contributing to potential historic districts.Craftsman/Arts and Cr afts, and Prairie Part of an i nternati onal co ncern f or refo rm in the arts, the Craftsma n style or Arts and Craft s movement sought to promote simpler design, natural materials, and fine craftsma nship. Ninetee nth century English designer Willia m Morris par ticularly inspired the American development of th e style and the philosophy behind it. In the United States, Gustav Stickley became a major pro ponent of the style , not onl y throug h h is furniture designs, but also through house designs and philosophical ideas he promo ted throug h The Craftsman . Publishe d fro m 1901-1 916, The Craftsman featured house p lans an d other A rts and C rafts in spiratio ns.
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 41 Among the charact eristics of the st yle are triangular knee bra ces and expose d rafter t ails; mu lti-li ght upper sash over single-l ight lower sash; casemen t windows, often with slender geometric muntins;low-pitched gable fronts with wide eav es; texture d press ed brick; and a mix of wall materials, most commonly stucco on an upper story abov e wood shingle or clapb oard on the firs t story. Board overlay, mimicking half-timbering, and tapered posts on p orches were also used. The Bungalow and Four Square vernacular buildings types commonly featured the influence of the Craftsman style.Horizontal e mphasis, asymmetrical massing, low-pitched hip roo f with broad eaves, prominent chimneys, stucco or Roman brick walls set against dark wood trim, bands of caseme nt windows (sometimes multi-light perhaps with stained glass), mass ive square porch piers, and a ge neral lack of ornamentation are the chief characteristics o f the Prairie style. While Frank Lloyd Wright was the chief architect of the style , other a rchitect s practi ces the style as well . Used f rom c. 1905 - c . 1930,the Prairie style develop ed as a chiefly Midwestern s tyle, intended to complement the gentle, rolling topograp hy of the Chicago and southern Wiscon sin regi ons. Th e styl e repre sented a great de parture from the overload of pe riod revival styles which dominated early and mid-tw entieth century American domesti c archite cture. Ho use form , color, and styling was to ble nd with natur e. Desp ite the true hub of the style nationall y being in the Chicago area, particularly Oak Park, the influence of the style is seen only minim ally in Plainfield , mostly in combin ation wit h vernac ular for ms and the Craftsma n/Arts and Craf ts styl e. Twenty-seven buildings in the survey area were recorded as being Craftsman, with most of these (twenty-five) having only the influence of the style. Six bu ildings have the influence of the Prairie style.The Arthur Covili House at 404 W. Ottawa (left ), was c onstru cted c . 1924 - 26 and reflects the Prairie/Arts and Crafts styles through the mixed use of brick with stucco, the low-pitched hip roof, and the sweeping eaves. The house at 15300 N . Division Street/Sta te Route 59 (right), at the northwest corner of Newkirk, fe atures a ceramic tile hip roof and full-facad e porch wit h concrete de corative inse ts reflecti ng the Arts and Crafts or Craf tsma n style. It is currently under reh abilitatio n for conversion t o office us e, but the additions b lend well with the original building.
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 42 Dutch Colonial Revival Among a number of period revival styles which occurred in the e arly twentieth century, the Dutch Colonial Revival style is distinctive for its gambrel roof, either side o r front f acing. Th e side of the gambrel roof typically has a shed roof dormer of substantial siz e, opening up the upper half st ory to nearly full story use. Multi-pane windows and lunette windows in the gable ends were also common;shutters may be applied as a decorative element. Ge nerally, with the exception of the gambrel roof,the elemen ts of this style are ide ntical to those of the C olonial Revival style, with en trances detailed with classical elements and side porches extending the living space. The style was part icularly popular among middle-class urban and suburban families, reachin g its peak in the 1 920s - ear ly 1930s. However, plan books c arried the style into the 1940s. Sears Roebuck, for example, offered twenty-s even di fferen t Dutch Co lonial Reviva l house s from 1911 to 1940. The house at 209 W. Lockpor t Street is concealed from clea r view by mature everg reen trees, but if one of the f ew houses which in Plainfield whi ch reflects the influe nce of the Du tch Colonial Revi val style. While the house now appea rs as bei ng from the e arly 20 th century, Sanborn map s show that the house is much older. This c. 1870 house was “updated” around 1945 to appear a s a then modern , Dutch Colonial Re vival house; i ts revised ap pearance is now historic, o ver fifty years old .Tudor/English Revival The Tudor Revival or English Rev ival style was ye t another of the period reviv al styles of the early twentiet h century , used c. 1910 - c. 1945. Th e styl e was bas ed on 16 th -century English vernacular buildings, and was promoted in England by Richar d Norm an Shaw as early as the 1880s. As was typi cal with other such styles, builders’ manuals and architects’ journals did much to promote t h e style in the U nited State s. Projecting gable wings or pavil ions of various heights, and promine nt chimneys are the most common elements of the sty le. Chimneys commonly ris e up the main facade.En t rances may be in corpora ted within lower, s hallow gable win gs. Tudor Revival buildings are
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 43 usually masonry , either stone o r brick, but may also have stucco , particul arly in use with dark wood trim imitating real ha lf-timbe ring. A mi xture of mate rials is common as well, e specially around entrances which may be framed in stone against a brick wall plane. Tudor R evival houses are u sually asymmetri cal, with multi-light windows (grouped, and usually casement s as h), slate roofs or fals e thatched roofs w ith roll ed edges , a n d copper gutters and downspouts with ornamental he ads.Influence of the style may be as simple as an e xtendin g gabl e pavilio n entrance and a prominent facade chimney. The Tudor Revival style is foun d minimall y in Pla infiel d, with on ly twel ve build ings showing the style or infl uence.The Tudor Revival style is us ed on only a few h ouses in Plai nfield. One very goo d example, recomme nded for local landmark status, is at 204 W. Lockport Street (left). Asymmetrical massi ng, mixed used of brick with stucco, various window groups, and an extendi ng entrance are among t he Tudor Revival fe atures of th e house. A less pronounc ed example is at 217 N. Joliet Ro ad (right), with a prominent front chimney which extends to encompass the front entrance.Mediterranean The Mediterr anean s tyle is found qui te minimal ly in Pl ainfiel d, but infl uence o f the style can be seen in the work of loc al builde r Clift on Brown, in combin ation wit h othe r influen ces. While “Mediterranean” lacks the “revival” label of other styles of this period, it is ne verthel ess amo ng the numerous period revival styl es which occurred in the early twentieth century. The style dates from c. 1915 to c. 1945. The Pan-American Exhibition in San Diego in 1915 is credite d with bein g the chief inspira tion fo r the interest in this style. “Mediterranean” is pop ularly applied to styl es having origins in southwestern Europe–Spain, Italy, an d southern France. The sty le diff ers fro m the earlier Mission style in general ly empl oying f ewer arch es with mo re recta ngular win dows and doors; arches,however, continued to be a part of the design. Later versions of the style became more ornate and walls more tex tured. The use of stucco wa s common , even tinted s tucco in colors such as o chre,cream, or yel low; ho wever, t he use o f yell ow brick a lso bec ame pop ular, which is a trait in some of the houses attributed to Clifton Brown. Characteristics of the styl e may include porches and pe rgolas on side el evatio ns; lo w, elong ated mass ing for d omestic designs ; caseme nt windows or multi-light

Joliet Road/U.S. Rou te 30 (left) and 713 W. Commercial Street (ri ght) both exhibit t he influenc e of the Medit erranean style, with yellow brick walls an d round arched entrance s. Both hou ses are recommend ed as contributi ng to histo ric distric ts. The Commerci al Street hous e was Clifton Brown’s own residenc e.Vernacular Building Types Hall an d Parlor The Hall and Parlor house type is three bays wide and a single pile deep, with a side gable roof. It may be one or one a nd one-half stories in he ight and it commonly occurs with rear wings;occasionally the rear wings and additions can be rather extravagant in comparison to the two room base of the house. In its simplest form, the Hall and Parlor is just a two room house: the “hall ” being a room, a general eating and living space, not a conv entiona l hall way; and a “parlo r,” a small er, more formal gathering space which may have als o functioned as a bedroom. The upper half story or attic may have s erved a s slee ping sp ace. D o orways are generally lo cated in the center of the f acade,opening directl y into t he “hall ,” the lar ger of t he two ro oms. Chi mneys ma y be located at one or both ends of the gable. Plainfi eld h as bo th one and one and one-half story versions of the Hall and Parlor. Only nine example s of the Hall and Parlor are in the village, with two of the examples being variations of the type.

The Classi cal Revival inspi red door hood was added to this c . 1860 hou se in the e arly 20 th century. On the right, 301 N. Joliet Road/U.S. Route 30 dates to c. 1870 and appears to be a 1-1/2 story version o f the Hall and Parlor h ouse type. It, too, is onl y a single pile (or one room) deep at i ts core.Side Hall Plan Sometimes also k nown as t he Two-Th irds Georgia n, the Si de Hall Plan or Side Hallway house was used from c. 1840 - c. 1890. It is usually two or two and one-hal f storie s tall and has e ither a f ar right or far left entranc e within a thr ee bay facade. Si de Hall P lan h ouses a re one r oom wide with a staircase/hall, and at least two rooms deep. It is genera lly known as an ur ban house for m, fitting well on narrow, urban lots during this period of heavy industrial and urban development in the United States. Roof forms may vary, but as the form coincided compl etely with the Italianate sty le, hip roofs are more common than gable front roofs for this form. Po rches ar e not as integral to the h ouse fo rm,and may consis t only of an e ntrance porch or have no porch at all. Among the excelle nt examples of the Side Hall Plan house type is the Italianate inf luenced Side H all Pla n hous e at 213 West Ottawa. Thirteen Side Hall Plan houses were doc umented i n the sur vey, wi th two examples being a variati on of th e true fo rm.

Both of the se examples als o have Italianate influence, e xpressed on the doub le door entrance and hood on the Division Street house, and through the pedimented drip caps on the Ottawa Street ho use. 15124 N. Division retains a very high degree of integr ity, and is recommended for local landmar k status.I-House Occurring during much of the nineteenth century to the turn-of -the-ce ntury, the I-House is so named for its common distribution in the “I states”–Indiana, Illinois , and Iowa. In one of its more common versio ns, t he I-House is essentially a two st ory Hall and Par lor–two room s wide and only a single room deep. It most co mmonly h as a side gable ro of with a symmetrical facade of three bays (Pre-Classic I-House) or five bays (Classic I-House). The three bay version has the hall room and parlor, with the cen tral doo r openi ng into e ither the smalle r room or the larger room. The staircase may be located in either of the rooms. Chimney locations v ary from the interior (within the core of the house), interio r end, or ext erior en d. Five bay versions of the I-House have a central hallway with two rooms on either side. Rear el l wings are common, in a variety of heights. Les s common is the Four Bay I-House, which may have one or two entrances and either a two rooms over two rooms plan, or a three over three pl an. Architectural style, if used at al l, is most typically exp ressed through a variety of porches, f rom simple entrance porches to full-width front porches. Windows, e ntrances,and gable ends may also ex hibit influence of an a rchitect ura l styl e.

Key to the definition of this house type is that t he two se ctions are of differing heights, with gable ends in different directions.The wing is most commonly recess ed from the facade plane of the upri ght, makin g an L-pl an or T-plan and prov iding a l ogical opportun ity for a porch a long the wing. En trances may be in the upright,but are more commonl y in the wing unde r a porch . This ho use form is als o known as the Tem ple

Its popularit y co incided with the o ccurrenc e of the Greek Re vival period, with pilasters, cornice returns, and wide entablatures sometimes adorning this ve rnacular house ty pe. On the interio r, the win g may hav e origin ally i ncluded one or t wo be drooms, and a pantry or a lar ge kitchen; t he uprigh t u sually include d a formal parlor, staircas e, and add itional bedrooms . The Upright a nd Wing ge nerall y was use d from c. 1830 - c. 1890.The Upright and Wing is an integral part of the G reek Revival/early v ernacular building which is so signi ficant in Plainfield. The house typ e generally occurs in small, shorter proportions, sometimes with very little differe ntial in height be tween the two sec tions. Importantly, this early house f orm is located along Pl ainfiel d’s trans portatio n corrido rs–Divi sion, Ma in, Lock port, and Jolie t Roa d.Twenty-s ix buildi ngs in th e surve y have the Upri ght and Wi ng form.Upright and Wi ng vernacular hous es include these two examples at 711 W. Ottaw a Street (left) and 204 N. Joliet Road (right). As i s common with this vernacular form, the se two example s show influ ence of the Greek Revival style.The Ottawa hous e has frieze windows on th e side elevat ion of the g able front and t he Joliet Road house has cornice returns on the gable front. Both houses h ave unfortunate ly been synthe tically sided .Gabled Ell , T-Plan , and Cross Plan The Gabled E ll hous e type is one or two s tories w ith an in tersect ing ga ble roof creating an L-plan front. Gabled Ell houses may be of balloon frame or brick bearing wall construction. Occurring from c. 1865 - c. 1900 , the Gabled Ell was a pop ular post-Civil War house ty pe. Key to this house type is the two intersecting gables being the same height, rather than two distinctly different ty pes as on the Upright and Wing. The front indentation within the ell is call ed the reentrant angle and almost always includes an entrance porch, commonly of fering the opportunity for styl istic features such as decorative posts, cornices, brackets, and deco r ative ra ilings. Side ga ble ends do not us ually have entrances; side win gs paral lel to the street are usually longe r than the front-facing gable end is wide.Main entrances may be multiple under the porch, from the side of the gable front and the front of the side gab le wing. The period of occurrence of the Gable Ell coinc ides with several architectural
ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 49 styles of the period; these c ould inc lude la te use of the Greek Revival style, and the Italianate, French Second Empire, and Quee n Anne s tyles. As can be common with houses, porches may als o reflect later changes to Gabled Ell houses, showing turn of the cen tury and e arly twe ntieth c entury architectural influe nces su ch as the Colonial Revival style. Amon g the examples of th e Gabled Ell house type in the survey area i s the excellent examp le shown above on West Ottawa Street. Thirty-three examples of the Gabled Ell house type were documented in this survey.The T-Plan is similar in time period an d detailing to the Gabled Ell , but has a prominent T-Pl an which faces the front o r side. In some cases, T-Plans which fa ce to th e side, thereby appeari ng to be L-shaped in the front, may st ill be classified as a Gable d Ell. The T-Plan form has a quite interesting occurrence in Plainfield, concentrated al ong Bartlett and Center streets, and having similar embelli shments in the re entrant a ngle por ches showing French Second Empire inf luence, an architectural influenced used minimally in Plainfield. Thirty-one exampl es of the T -Plan we re documented in this survey.Cross Plan hou ses are also s imilar in time pe riod and d eta iling to both the Gabled Ell and T-plan house types. Cross Plan house s are typically two s tories, with intersecting gable wings. Most commonly, these houses are irre gularly massed, with the l onger ax is perp endicul ar to the street, and the shorter axis pa rallel to the street. The shorter axis may be asymmetrical, that is , extend longer to one si de than th e other. Like th e T-Plan house, t he Cros s Plan c ommonly feature s a re entran t angle porch, emphasizing one side of the gabl e front more than the other. O nly si x examp les of the Cross Plan were documented in this s urvey.Excellent examples of the Gabled Ell house type are loca ted at 32 W. Ottawa, c. 1880 (left), an d 807 N.

The entrance must be in the Gable Front, rat h er than o n a side eleva tion.

As such, so me examp les migh t more accurately be classified as Templ e Form. The Side Hall Plan house form is frequently a Gable Front form. Gable Front houses m ay ot herwise not exhibit the three bay width of the Side Hall Plan.Sixty-nine Gable Front h ouses we re reco rded in th is surve y, with s even o f these having s ome variatio n to the true form.T wo examples of Gab le Front house s from two dis tinctly diff erent time p eriods are 213 N.

Pyramidal Cottage While t he true i nterpre tation o f this ho use form dates f rom c. 1890 - c . 1910, the v ariation s of the form extend well i nto the twentieth century. The true Pyramidal Cottage i s a square house with a pyramidal hip roo f. The roo f may al so be trun cated, th at is, fl at on top , without f orming a pyramid peak.

In Identifying American Archit ecture : A Pic torial Guide t o Styles a nd Terms,1600-1945 , a popul ar and ea sy-to -use sty le guide, John J.-G. Blumenson includes the Bungalow among architectural styles. Marcus Whiffin , in American Architectur e Since 1780: A Guid e t o the Styles includes it as a style with the rather awkward moniker “Bungaloid.” Original editions of these two guides da te to 1977 and 1969 respectively, at a time when views of historic architecture, much less an acknowledgment of vernacular buildings types, was seriously limited. Stephen Gordon in How to Complet e the Oh io Histo ric Inve ntory has bridged the style versus typ e Bu ngalow di lemma by includi ng i t in both the architectural style and v ernacular building type sections o f the book.Commonly real e state profes sional use the term quite generic ally, a pplyin g it to an y small house, bu t the Bungal ow is ac tually a distinc t form.Bungalows are most commonly one and on e-half stories, but may al so be one or two stories. Key features are long, sweeping gable roo f lines, overhanging eav es, prominent porches (often wit h tapered posts), exposed rafter tail s, and knee braces which ac centuate the roof overhan g. Wall surfaces may vary gr eatly an d often a combina tion of surface s may be used to v isually separat e the first and upper half stories. In How to Complete the Ohio Historic Inventory , the Bungalow vernacular type is sub-divided into two categories: Dormer Front and Gable Fr ont. Dor mer Front Bungalows have side facing gables and a front facing gabled or shed roo m dormer, o pening up the up per sto ry space on the front side of the building. Often his Bungalow sub-type has a ful l-width porch which is set within th e main side gable, t he front slope of which extend s down to encomp ass the porch. T he Gable Front Bunga low is o ne or on e and on e-half stories tall, wi th a low-pitched roof and front facing gable. This house type is particularly adaptable to narrow urban lots. Bungalows date from just after

The Craftsma n/Arts and Crafts style is used commonly with this house type, as is the Spanish Eclectic sty le. Numerous Bungalow house types are found throughout the survey area.Excellent examples of the Bungalow house type are at 506 W. Ottawa (left) and 217 W. Ottawa (righ t). Bot h are examples of the Dormer F ront sub-type, with prominent gable roo f dormers.Cape Cod Cottage The Cape Cod Cottage is a form that might be better classified within t he Colonial Revival architectural style , as the form and s tyle ar e usuall y insep arable. The one and one -half s tory sid e gable ho uses are symmetrical and are distinctive fo r promine nt gable roof do rmers whic h open t he upper half st ory to t he front . Windows are usual ly doubl e-hung, multi-light; shutters are common.Entrances typica lly ex hibit Col onial Re vival influen ce.

Side wings may have ro of balus trades to outline a poten tial upp er story porch,another Colon ial Rev ival in spiratio n. Wall material s may inc lude cl apboard, br ick, or s tone. Th e Cape Cod Cottage dates from c. 1925 to c. 1955, and became in creasingly popular toward the later part of that time period. The house ty pe was in spired by 18 th century cottage s in Cap e Cod,Massachusetts, and later became a mod el for post-World War II housing, inspired by the succe ss of Levittown, New York, a pla nn ed communi ty. Twenty-f our examp les of this hou se type were documented in the survey.

Later versions of the building type, in the 1960s and later, often inco rporated sliding glass doors acc essing attached patio space. Ranch houses date fro m c. 1940s - c . 1980. Plainfield has a number of good e xamples of Ranch houses, includi ng a con centrati on in the Newkirk/Union/Pr att neigh borhood, Union and Union Court.

Both examples have lo ng rectangular for ms, although the differ in roof types and shallow pav ilion extensions.Tri-Level Like the Ranch house, Split-Level or Tri-Level houses became popular with the post World War II suburban surge of construction, c. 1950 - c. 1980. These houses feature two distinctive ro of heights,usually a taller gable f ront sec tion and a lower side gable section which includes the entrance. Like the Ranch house, porches are minimal.

TABULATIO N OF RESULTS The survey of the historic urbanize d core included approximately 499 acr es or 21,733,1 53 square f eet.The survey resulted in 722 survey forms. This represented 197 forms more than the initial project estimate. Most of the properties included at least one outbuildi ng in addi tion to a primary building,thus the estimated total number of historic res ources docu mented as a result of the surve y was approxi mately 1,450.Please refer to the Recommendations section for additional results for e ach recommended historic district.8. DATA GAPS The chief data gap in this survey projec t was the need to contact local history experts. Because of the scope and timing of the project , the emp hasis be came the field work on 720 properties, which left little time to consult local exper ts to the extent t hat would h ave been ideal. “Available Materials”listed in the Request for Proposals for this project include “Plainfie ld Historical Society and Museum”and “Local Volunteers (when possib le),” but this did not mater ialize . “This Ol d Building ,” a form developed as part of this project, in an attempt t o solicit property owner k nowledge of local buildings ,was an unsuccessful attempt to sol icit owner information on buildings. None of the f orm s was returned comple ted.In addition to the e xtr aord inary volunteers and historians at the Plainfield Historical So ciety and Museum, other people throughout the community are knowledgeable of various as p ect s of the community ’s history. When pro perty owner contact was made, this has bee n noted on the survey form, for future use by the Historic Prese rvation Com mis sion. On e signi ficant e xample is Art Countryman on the southwest corner of Center Street at Amboy. He provided useful inf ormation on buildings on Eva ns Stree t being mo ved by h is grandf ather. Mr. Count ryman die d in June 2006.His death is a reminder that we are losing a generation that has a direct con nection with the early history of Plai nfield .

CHALLENGES The scope and schedule of this survey projec t was trem endous f rom the s tart. Und erstanda bly, the Historic Preserv ation Co mmission sought to have the completed survey f orms at the onset of the ne w construction calend ar. In add ition to the large scope of the project and the leve l of detail desired on the individ ual forms , the unde restimati on of th e numb er of proper ties to be surve yed, with 200 additiona l properties, ha d a tremendo us impact on t he project as well.Perhaps the most surprising difficulty was photography. Commonly, survey photography is affected by seasonal changes, le aves dropping from trees to clear building vie ws, then the popular display of holiday decorations to be immortalized in s urvey photography. Digital camer as are affected b y cold weather, so batterie s require more fre quent rec harging an d cameras occasi onally “freez e.” However the chief photogr aphy pro blem in t his case was not the weath er, but rather the peo ple. Th e prope rty owner and occupant responses were ex treme, be coming do wnright me an at time s. Impor tant to note is that the highly negative resp onses had nothing to do with historic preservation or this survey project specifically. People were si mply an gry that their buildings were being photographed. Owner resp onse had b een quit e mi nimal during the “clipboard phase” of the projec t, when the architectural descriptions were being developed. Conversely, more su rvey handout s were distri buted on one sin gle day of photography than in all other field days total. It was clearly the camera issue. One resident yelled from her car, “Do y ou have PERMISSION to do tha t?!” Keep in mind, that the surveyor remained on the p ublic rig ht-of-wa y at all times. N o permission is needed. An other property owner ac tual ly follo wed the p hotograp her for n early a block, f iring of f a line of ques tions abo ut how the photogra phs would be used an d who would see them. It was quite cle ar that property owners and occupan ts saw the photograph as a infringement on their privac y, perha ps havi ng to do with prop erty taxes. Initially, none of the angry resp ondents even knew what the project was. They were simply responding to a woman with a camera, photographing their house .Traffic was also an issue with regard to photography. Gene rally, buildings photograph better from across the stre et, so as a better an gle on the mass ing and ro of line of the building may be ac hieved.Howeve r, traffic on Division in part icular, and Joliet Road on occ asion, proved t o be so severe, at all times an d days, th at photo graphy f rom acros s the st reet was just not possib le. Because of the huge difference in scope between the urban and rural projects , the contact between the two survey contractors was minimal. Co ntact was limited to discussion of architectural styles and vernacular building type de velop ment, and general report f orm. Nevert heless , contac t was made and an attemp t to coo rdinate wa s achie ved.Lastly, villa ge staff changes in the middle of the field work fo r this project had some impact as w ell.The villa ge was s udde nly in a pos ition of being short staffed and the routine of monthly reporting between the cons ultant an d Histori c Preser vation Commissi on liai son was interrupt ed.

RECO MMENDAT IONS Summary As part of the requir ements o f this p roject, t he cons ultant was to reco mmend pro perties for the National R egister of Historic Places and for local designations , for both individual listings an d historic districts. The recommendations are the pr ofessi onal op inion o f the co nsultant , and are largely based on architectural evaluations from the field. The r ecom mendations are provided for consideration of the Historic Preservation Commission, the Village, prop erty owners, and interested citizens. Certainly these recommendations may be modified, added to, or disagreed with as any o f these parties deem appropriate.National Register recommendations were based on t he consultant’s substantial National Regis ter experience. Philos ophical ly, th e in tent of the historic district recommendations was to include as many p roperties as possible. A variety of historic district re commendations has been made for possible local designation. Of co nsideration will be owner s upport for these designations. For l ocal landmarks designation s, synthetic si ding and bu ilding integ rity is an issue. While the consultant tried consistently to weigh evenly the integrity issues , not al l synthetically side d buildings have been treated equally. In some cases, buildings with sy nthetic siding were still reco mmended for local designation, when the building otherwise retained historic integr ity. This was especiall y the case when a prope rty cont inued to be an excellent example of a pa rticular a rchitectu ral style or vernacular building type, despite th e synthetic wall m aterial.Above all, ad ditional bui ldings a nd h istoric districts may very well be eligible for recognitio n,particular ly as local landmarks and historic districts.

National Register of Historic Places The National Register of Historic Pl aces is the official federal list of pl aces deemed worthy of preservation. It was created as part of the Na tional Historic Preserv ation Ac t of 1966, an d is part of what remains our most signific ant piece of legislation in historic p reservation. The National Register w as an especially important step in the creation of historic preservation programs, as i t provided for recognition of pl aces significant in local, state, and national history . Prior p rograms, t he National Historic Landmarks p rog ram, for example, had recognized onl y properties of national significance.National Re gis ter allows for the nomination o f buildings, structures, objects, sites, and historic

Wheth er a prop erty is on the National Registe r individually or contributing within a historic district , it’s st atus is t he same. The Nati onal Re gister a lso al lows fo r Mu ltiple Pro perty Documentation submissions, a cover document which establi shes the significance for a grouping of properties. Then, individ ual nominat ions may becom e part of the relevan t Mult iple Pr operty submission for des ignation s to the Nati onal Re gister; the Multiple Property Document itse lf does not include designations. In Illinoi s, this may include Carnegie Libraries o r Route 66 properties, among others. Generally to be eligible to t he National Regist er, a property must meet the foll owing three requirements:•Meet one or more of the f our National Register criteria;•Be 50 years old or older (unless of exceptional s ignificance); and •Retain historic integrity.Integrit y pertains to the degree in which a property appears as it did historically and this can beco me a huge iss ue with re gard to eligibi lity to the National Register, especial ly for individual nominations.In Illinois, buildings which have synthetic siding are not individu ally e ligible to the N ational Registe r.For historic districts, an overwhelming number of buildings with synthetic siding could prevent an area from being elig ible to the National Register. However, in dividual buildings with synthetic siding may still contribute to a historic dist rict. Such things as window replacement, porch in fill, and intrusive additions also eff ect National Register eligibility .A number of misconceptions surround the meaning o f National Register listing. The following summary includes important aspects of l istings:

ArchiSearch Historic Pr eservation Consultan ts Plai nfiel d’s Histor ic Urbaniz ed Core: An Intensi ve-Level Survey 64 National Register listin gs involve a compl icated process of documentation through field work and archival research, mapping and photography. Nominations are reviewed b y the National Register staff at the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (our State His toric Preservation Office in I llinois),the Illino is Histo ric Site s Advis ory Coun cil, the State Historic Preservation Offic er, and the National Park Servic e, befor e offi cial li sting may occur. O bv iously the process is far beyond a simple applic ation fo rm.While National Registe r provid es no tr ue prote ction o f pro perties , it can be an important preservation planning tool if it is used actively. Many co mmunities choose to use National Register status in promotional programs, whether brochures, walking tours, or in terpretive signs which enc ourage interes t in a ne ighborhoo d or commun ity. In some cas es, Nati onal Re gister s tatu s ma y p romote preservation through financial inc entives, chiefly tax programs at the federal an d stat e levels. Despi te the lack of protection to buildings, the threshold for qualifying for National Regis ter is higher than for local designat i ons. Additio nally, owner ob jection/con sent is handled differently for National Register. For individual property nominatio ns, private property owners may object and thereby preve nt Nation al Regis ter l isting. Fo r histori c distric ts, fift y-one p ercent o f the pr operty owners would hav e to act ively object (registe red letters wit hin the required time line) to prev ent designat ion. In strategizin g for Nationa l R egist er designations, historic districts cl early provide the most comprehensive way to achieve designations . Historic districts may comprise buildings which may or may not be of individual signif icance, but which collectiv ely ha ve significance. Additional ly,synthetic siding becomes less of an issue for individual building s wit hin the district and owner objectio n is le ss of a potent ial obst acle. National Registe r nominat ions, whe ther for individ ual prop erties or histo ric distr icts, may include contributing and non-contributing resources. For example , an individual nomination for a house likely would al so incl ude a gara ge or ca rriage bar n. Import a nt to no te is that regardless of des ign,unless a resource is of exce ptional significance, if i t is less than fifty year old, it is non-contributi ng.A case in point i s Plainf ield’s rather uni que occu rrence o f a number of spl endidly designe d modern garages in carriage barn form. Despi te the f act that t his mode rn buildin gs are not only unobtrusive,but are als o comp l ementary to many historic properties , they are still conside red to be non-contributi ng. Co nversely, in a f ew cases in this survey, a main house was determined to be non-contributi ng, but a garage was considered contributing; this was usual due to integrity issues and/or estimated construction dates. National Registe r requires no parti cular rat io of c ontributin g versus non-contributing buildings. For consideration of historic districts, an unusually large number of non-contributing buildings may impact a potential district’s e ligibility.Historic districts are defined by the National Register as: "A d istrict pos sesses a significant concentration, linkage, or continuity of sites, buildings , structure s, or obje cts united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development.” In making recommendations f or the National Register , consider ation was given to architectural signif icance and commercial significance , in

In any of the National Register recommendations, the opinion of the Survey and National Register Coordinator of the Illinois Historic Prese rvation Agency shou ld also be conside red befo re any n ominatio n is purs ued.National Regi ste r of Hist oric Pl aces, Histori c Dist rict Recomm endati ons Village of Plainfi eld Histor ic District A large hi storic d istrict, encompa ssing muc h of the exte nt of the survey area, could possibly pass approval through the National Register process. This would be the best way to attain the status f or as many buildings as possible in the vil lage. Key to the recommendation fo r this potential district is the cohesiveness which remains. While scattered historic buildings are outside of the recommended boundary, interferences with historic construc tion suc h as demo lition and modern construction (in the las t fifty years) whittle away at t he stren gth/elig ibility of a po tential National Registe r distric t.The distric t would be roughly bounded by the front lot li nes of properties o n the east side of James Street; the north/northwest side of Main Street; just northeast of North Mil l Stree t on the north; th e rear lot of lines o f properties facing west on North Center Street on part of the east boundary; extend east along much of West Lockpo rt Street; follow the rear lo t lines of properties facin g west along North Dillman ; then f ollow t he rear lot lines of properties facing south/southwest alo ng Joliet Road to the extent of the survey area’s eastern boundary; then follow the rear lo t lines of properties facing north/northeast along Joliet Road; the fo llow the rear lot line s of properties facing no rth along West Commerci al Stree t back to North Jame s Street .This potent ial his toric dis trict is based on architec tural sig nifican ce/Crite rion C, a nd w ould encompass many of t he architectural styles and ve rnacular buildings types included within this survey.

Beyond integrity issues, National Register provisions allow private proper ty owner s to object to listing, thereby in the case of individual properties, al lowing an owner to prevent offic ial listing. In such cas es, a property, if approv ed for National Register listing , would received a Determination o f Eligibility or D.O.E. This status would prov ide for review of federal and state funds which could e ffect t he property; however, the prop erty owners would not be eligible for any finan cial incentives asso ciated with National Register status.The following seven properties have been recomm ended for individual listing in the National Register :15214 N.

Main Street The c. 1840 Denn ison Gre en Hous e is argu ably the most ce lebrated histori c resour ce in th e Vill age of Plainfi eld. The house was among the first prop erties nationally to be documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey, a program which began in 1934, with the Green House documented in 1935. Architectural Historian Talbot Hamlin highlighted the Den nison G reen Ho use in hi s 1944 book, Greek Revival Archit ecture in America: bei ng an account of import ant tre nds in A merican Architecture and American life prior to the War Between the States . Hamlin commented on the Green House: “. . . a beautiful one-an d-a-half story c ottage with a hipped roof, a recesse d porch, a formal and clever plan, and a charming se nse of proport ion in t he frie ze windo ws and thei r relati on to the openin gs below.”111 While asbes tos shingle siding was added between 1935 and 1944, the house remains substantially intact, including an exceptional entrance. The asbestos shing le siding could affect National Register status, this particularly siding has now become “histori c,” that is over f ifty years old or older. Mature evergree ns in front of the house prevent a clear photo graph of the main facade and entrance.An exceptional entrance with pilaste rs, multi-light transom, dentils, pla in entablature, and drip cap are a mong the Greek Revival features of the Dennis on Gree n House at 222 W.

The significance of the surv ey is t ruly onl y achie ved if it is used. Recommendations for National Registe r of Historic Places listings and local designations have been made an d should b e activ ely pur sued.The data gap of archival research s hould be addressed, including oral hi stories and priv ate proper ty owner information. As the recommendations fo r designations are heavily based on visual architectural o bservati ons, addi tional archival researc h will p rovide comple te eval uations of some properties. More pr opertie s may be determin ed to be significant for registration at the natio nal and local levels . Property owner interest may impact designa tions as well, w ith owne r suppor t being a valuable component of the designation process.While the printed version of this rep ort and the more than 700 survey forms that have been produced are ava ilable, elect ronic v ersions of thes e docume nts will greatly expand the usefulness of this survey and process. His toric research may be added to the forms a s ti me and in terest p ermit.Building informat ion, inc luding p hotograp hs, may be used i n we b site de velop ment to p romote interest in the village’s historic resources.With the incredib le popula tion gro wth and buil ding acti vity which the villa ge has be en exp erienci ng,the documentation of historic resources has been an important step for the villa ge to take. The steps which follow will signifi cantly effect the image and character of the village. The Village is in a rather unique positi on of re taining a very high numb er of early to mid -nineteenth ce ntury proper ties, as well as later significant historic architecture. Any future plans should consider thes e significant resources,and the unmatched character of the village .
