I forgot to post the link to the Kankakee Points of interest. I mainly wanted to keep it for myself, but there is a small photograph of the Frank Lloyd Wright house plus the Public Library. The Library was next door to my grade school as I was growing up, and I spent countless hours there reading. I think I might have checked out every book that their children’s section had to offer. Ok, maybe not all of them, but too many to remember. About 10 years ago my mom purchased a print/watercolor of the library and had it framed for me – it hangs in my bedroom now.

Funny you mention the Frank Lloyd Wright house, it’s hasn’t been two weeks since there was a great deal of debate about tearing it down lately! the hearing to approve demolition of the carriage house was earlier this month, but was postponed when someone stepped forward to try to save it. The hearing before the Kankakee Historical Preservation Committee had been delayed now until January 31.
