About this Article

A late 19th century era house located on property owned by the Carol Stream Public Library will be demolished early next year. The library initially purchased the land to use as space for a new library facility, but voters rejected those plans in three separate referendums. So officials have been exploring other possible uses for the land and believe it would be more valuable without the house.
