Company History
The Naperville Local Historic District is a local district designation granted by the Naperville City Council in 1986. Currently, the city has approximately 320 properties within the Naperville Local Historic District that includes part of the North Central College Campus and 253 homes. These buildings, structures, and sites represent significant examples of local architecture and are among the city's most important cultural and historical heritage. They contribute to the city's character, quality of life and economic vibrancy and also bring visitors to the area.
Current and future residents in the Historic District are encouraged to improve their properties through renovation, rehabilitation, and repair that are consistent with the historic, architectural and aesthetic character of the neighborhood. Properties located within the district receive increased protection through regulations set forth in the Naperville Historic Preservation Ordinance (Section 6-11 of the Municipal Code) under the oversight of the Historic Preservation Commission.
In 2008, The City of Naperville conducted an Architectural and Historical Survey to assess approximately 310 structures located within Naperville’s local Historic District and two local landmark structures. The survey serves as a record of the properties’ historical significance, and provides information about diverse architectural styles, periods, history and unique features of designated historic structures.
