This home at 125 Maple Ave. in Naperville was constructed in 1958 by builder Don Tosi, who was known for his contemporary flair and trademark orange front doors. It's one the midcentury modern homes built in the East Highlands, formerly known as Moser Highlands, that Naperville Preservation Inc. hopes to catalog this year.
Naperville Preservation Inc. received $3,000 from the city’s Special Events and Cultural Amenities program and $2,000 from Landmarks Illinois’ Barbara C. and Thomas E. Donnelley II Preservation Fund. “There’s a tremendous amount of teardowns there, and we’re really hoping to capture information and images about the remaining houses as quickly as we can before they all go away,” Burke said.
“It’s very, very interesting because the very first plats, the first areas of the East Highlands, Highland Avenue wasn’t even there,” Burke said. “That road where Highland School is, which we think of as pretty a main street, wasn’t even there before the subdivision. It’s one of those things where the road evolved as the subdivision evolved.”
For example, Moser included donations of land for schools and parks, something Naperville later championed and which has become the gold standard for communities throughout the country, she said.
Lol. There’s already an archive of professional photos on the MLS, Redfin, Zillow, etc..
