The Helen Plum library is ready and happy to at last demolish the old building and hand the site over the Lombard Park District
The district plans to acquire the property to expand historic Lilacia Park. The village also will take over a library-owned parking lot. The contractual agreements still need final approval from all three taxing bodies, but library leaders are eager to turn the page and open a new Main Street building near downtown Lombard.
As part of the proposed agreements, the park district would contribute toward the costs of tearing down the old library building at 110 W. Maple St. The library budgeted $573,000 to raze it. by signing up you agree to our terms of service "We will have that information available when we post our board agenda this Friday," she said.
The park district also has an interest in safeguarding a coach house originally built as a part of the estate of Colonel William R. Plum. Upon his death in 1927, Plum, a Civil War veteran, bequeathed his beloved lilac collection to Lombard, ensuring it would be known thereafter as the"Lilac Village."
Meanwhile, the village would acquire the parking lot at 25 W. Maple St. -- cater-cornered from the old library. The village also would enter into a long-term lease agreement with the park district for use of additional parking spaces within the Edwards Elmhurst Health Center site.
