Dundee Twp. Historical Society to host plaque presentation Nov. 3

The Dundee Township Historical Society will recognize area homes at its annual Historic Sites Program and Plaque Presentation at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3. The program will be held at the historical society museum, 426 Highland Ave. in West Dundee.

Research is done by committee members as well as homeowners and community members. Plaques are awarded to sites of historical significance and "to foster appreciation of and to educate us about our built environment and our heritage."

Two homes will receive plaques this year.

Edward Schwartz house at 407 Green St. in Carpentersville was built circa 1910. The front façade was changed from one peak to two. The history of the property goes back to 1844. .

The house at 315 S. Second St. in West Dundee was built in 1918. A sturdy red brick structure, it has some elements of the Prairie Style. The front facade features two porches, one directly over the other.

All area residents are invited to attend this recognition program to learn about some of the earlier residents of Dundee Township, popular structure styles of the past, and ways to keep or restore their homes to the original architectural design.

There is no admission charge. For information, call the museum at (847) 428-6996 or visit dundeetownshiphistorical.org or www.facebook.com/DundeeTownshipHistoricalSociety/.
