The Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission approved a sign-permit review (case A-54-2025) for Hinsdale Barbershop at 20 West Hinsdale Avenue, allowing interior-mounted vinyl graphics; the commission voted unanimously after staff and the applicant described the installation as standard and non-invasive.
The Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission on Jan. 7 approved a sign-permit application for Hinsdale Barbershop at 20 West Hinsdale Avenue, authorizing interior-mounted vinyl graphics on a front window.
Austin, representing FASTSIGNS of Downers Grove, told the commission the graphics will be applied to the inside of the window ‘‘so no one can go from the outside and modify or attack the vinyl’’ and described the installation as standard. Commissioners offered brief, supportive comments during discussion and moved to approve the permit.
A motion to approve case A-54-2025 was placed and seconded; the commission carried the motion by roll-call vote. The staff record notes the installation will not require exterior alteration and permits will follow standard building-permit processes.
The item drew no public objection at the meeting; the applicant thanked the commission and left to proceed with permitting.
