Summary
The Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to allow demolition of the existing single‑family house at 337 East Third Street and approved a design for a new single‑family home after a public hearing that focused on materials and window cladding.
The Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness to demolish the house at 337 East Third Street and separately approved plans to construct a new single‑family home at the same address, the commission confirmed during a public hearing.
