I know the church was given some architectural award when it was first built. Carl Cepuran said he had the history and I'll try to get that posted. I know there is considerable work to be done to make it suitable for a school; there are asbestos tiles in the basement, electrical needs to be updated, there is only 1 bathroom and the max capacity is 120.
Questions:
Does it qualify for any sort of protected status?
Even if it's a long shot would starting the process for review protect it in any way?
And what about the land that was sold to the church for $1? Were there any conditions on this that would complicate selling of the land in order to subdivide for 2 single family homes?

I spoke with a woman from Preserve Glen Ellyn, to get some advice on how to go about getting historic landmark status. First of all we need permission from the land owner. If we can't, then there is no reason to go any further with this. It may help the owner to know that properties with landmark status actually appreciate faster that other properties.
I also spoke with a park dist board member about having them buy the church property if the sale to the Ripking's falls through. We would need to contact the park district board and ask for the opportunity to present our issue in front of the board. There are 2 board meeting a month. He asked if the Village would possibly pay for a portion of the property. It's a long shot, but worth following up on if the sale does fall through.
