Local history still in the making Survey will identify historic buildings within Downers Grove By Jonathan Samples Bugle Reporter
The Tivoli Theater, constructed in 1928, sits one block east of downtown’s major thoroughfare and has a special place in the early history of Chicago cinema. Head south four blocks, and you’ll run right into the Lincoln Center, a structure that housed the Lincoln School between 1867 and 1974. Walk just a couple blocks west, and the Drew House, built in 1888, offers onlookers an early example of Gothic Revival architecture. This list is just a small sample of the many identified historic structures scattered throughout Downers Grove, and the village is in the process of uncovering those properties that have been lost over the years.

The Blodgett House, home to the Downers Grove Park District Museum, was built in 1892 and is an example of Victorian architecture. It is one of the oldest remaining homes in the village.
