Talk of the County

Watch their moves

Lake County needs some oversight as far as tearing down and preserving buildings. The former TB Sanatorium at 2400 Belvidere in Waukegan needs to be preserved and the county can’t be trusted to preserve it. The county tore down a gorgeous historic building on Grand Avenue and put up a monstrosity. I don’t know how they snuck that one through. The county also tore down what use to be the little TB clinic on Keller and Dodge. It had gorgeous woodwork and was truly an architectural marvel. They tore it down and nobody said a word. They tore down that beautiful former mansion that was the Lake County offices for the Forest Preserve on Milwaukee Avenue. I think the county definitely needs the city or the National Trust for Historic Preservation to watch every move they make.
