Naperville Woman’s Club Landmark Remodeling ProjectGeorgiann Baldino
Naperville Woman's Club’s Landmark building at 14 South Washington Street underwent extensive remodeling to remove architectural barriers. Members, guests and renters now enjoy full access to this historical Gothic Revival structure built in 1899. Three years of creative planning with the help of Naperville Heritage Society, Opperman Architects and Sequoia General Contracting Corp. led to a successful renovation. Naperville Woman’s Club now offers accessibility in ways that compliment an architecturally significant building. Their efforts adapted Naperville’s locally-designated Landmark for community use, while retaining this symbol of the City’s working class roots, religious origins and culture.

From budget considerations and preliminary walkthrough advice to a deconstructed sample Scope of Work, you’ll find everything you need to get started. It is the agreement between you and your contractor as to exactly what will happen in your rehab, and a good way to show potential investors and quality contractors that you mean business.

Quarterly maintenance of your HVAC systems is important to extend the system’s lifespan and save hundreds of dollars on unexpected repairs.
