P.I.N.# (s)
22-20-403-001
3. Year of Construction
WPA project built in 1936
4. "Name and Address of the property owner:
United States Postal Service. Great Lakes Facilities Service Office. 62 Stratford Drive Bloomingdale IL 60117
5. Significant Architectural Features:
The Building was constructed in 1936 in the Art Moderne Style as a WPA project. It is a rectangular building with flat roof
constructed of brick with stone cladding over central portion of front of building 9/9 and 12/12 wood double hung windows with
recessed panels; 12-light transom over front door. The mural on the north wall of the building part of the Federal Arts
Project, painted by Charles Turzak, dates to 1937, and depicts the canal. It is an important piece of local public art. Lemont
125"' Anniversarv Edition (Buschman) states that the "walls of the building are 12 inches thick, as is the basement#loor which
is built on bed rock: The basement was designated as a fallout shelter in the 1950's. Rooms that once had chutes to stock
c_oal_are now used for storage. The floors in the lobby are made from quarry stone." The building is rated as "significant" in
the Granacki survey of the Lemont Historic District, and as potentially eligible fora National Register designation. (See attached
letter from Illinois Historic Preservation Agency}.
6. Reasons in Support of Proposed Designation:
(See attachment)
7. Provide Documentation that Property Owner has been Notified or Consents to this Application
(See Exhibit 1 Attached Hereto)
8. Attachments: Overall Site Plan and Photographs of (all sides) ofthe Proposed Landmark. The Plan may also
include front, side and rear elevation drawings.
The Commission shall schedule a public hearing within 60 days of receipt of this application. Public Notice shall be sent by mail to owner(s) of record,
lessees, and to the nominators} and adjoining property owners not less than 15 days prior to hearing date. Notice of Hearing shall be published in a
newspaper of general circulation in the Village of Lemont.
Reasons in Support of Proposed Designation
Ordinance 0-7-07, as incorporated into the Unified Development Ordinance, sets forth criteria for
consideration of Landmark designation. The building at 42 Stephen Street possesses the integrity of design,
workmanship, materials, location, setting and feeling specified by Chapter 17.16.080, Section (C) of the
Unified Development Ordinance.
Significant value as part of the historic, heritage or cultural characteristics of Lemont, Cook
County, State of Illinois, or the United States.
The building at 42 Stephen Street is historically significant as Lemont's first post office. It was built
in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration project of the New Deal. The building was dedicated
on July 4, 1937. It was the first government constructed post office for Lemont, the result of
intensive lobbying by Congressman Edward Kelly.
2. Identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the development of
Lemont.
Delivery of mail did not begin in Lemont until February, 1931. Previously, the Post Office had
several different homes in retail businesses, one of which was on Canal Street. In 1936, Emmanuel
J. Shafranski was appointed as postmaster and remained in that capacity until 1972, and was the
first postmaster to set up operations in the new post office.
Congressman Edward A. Kelly (1892-1969) who is credited with the lobbying efforts for
construction of the post office, served in Congress from 1931 to 1943, and was re-elected 1945 -
1947.
Louis A. Simon, supervising architect, is nationally renowned for his contribution to 1930s
architecture.
Charles Turzak was an Illinois painter, printmaker, illustrator and designer, born 1899 in Streator,
IL. He is acclaimed for his Lincoln Biography in woodcuts, and during the Great Depression
participated in various federal art programs. These included painting murals in post offices and
government buildings, including the Chicago Post Office. His mural in the Lemont post office is
thought to be the ONLY Turzak mural still in existence.
3. Representative of the distinguishing characteristics ofarchitecture inherently valuable for the
study of a period, type, method of construction or use of indigenous materials, especially the
Joliet-Lemont limestone known as "athens marble."
Art Moderne architecture was most prevalent during the 1930s to the 1950s. The style illustrates
the smooth, sleek appearance of the nation's jump from a simpler time to modern times. The style
is characterized by horizontal orientation, and. a streamlined look which is geometrically based.
Little to no ornamentation is also a characteristic of the style. The building is without exterior
ornamentation, except for the art deco flavor of the exterior lettering. The Post Office is the only
building in the Historic District representing this style ofarchitecture, and thus its significance in
the historic district is increased.
The Works Progress Administration was created as a relief measure by presidential order of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt with the goal of providing jobs for the unemployed during the Great Depression.
The WPA provided about 8 million jobs between 1935 and 1943, and expenditures through 1939
totaled nearly $7 billion. Almost every community in America has a park, bridge or school
constructed by the agency. Although the WPA had its critics, it is recognized as a significant factor
in American History. The Lemont Post Office building was constructed under the WPA program,
as was the tunnel system and the castle in the Recreation Bowl.
The mural, painted by Charles Turzak, on the north interior wall of the post office is without doubt
the most important architectural feature of the building. Its title is "Canal Boats" in reference to
Lemont's identity as a towpath town along the I & M Canal. The mural is an object of much
significance and although it could possibly be removed, it is doubtful that it could be done without
compromise to the integrity of this important art piece.
4. Notable work of a master builder, designer, architect or artist whose individual work has
influenced the development of the community, county, state or country.
Louis A. Simon is listed as supervising architect, and Neal A. Melnick as supervising engineer.
Simon was the Supervising Architect of the U.S. Department of the Treasury 1933 - 1939, and
nationally renowned as the supervising architect on a variety of post offices and public buildings in
a variety of architectural styles. Some other buildings by Simon include the post offices at Clinton
Iowa, Houston Texas, Cincinnati Ohio, Port Everglades Fla, and the 193Q's additions to the federal
complex of buildings at Ellis Island, NY which is now a historic district.
5. Its unique location or singular physical characteristics that make it an established or familiar
visual feature, including presence in the skyline as viewed from the northern entrance to
Lemont.
Although the post office is not a dominant structure in the skyline, the building's substantial mass
and substance qualifies it as an established and familiar visual feature in the streetscape of the
Lemont historic district
6. Its character as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian structure, including, but
not limited to farmhouses or commercial structures, with a high level of integrity or
architectural significance.
As the only Art Moderne period example of architecture in the Lemont historic district, the Lemont
Post Office building at 42 Stephen Street is a unique commercial structure with both a high level of
integrity and architectural significance locally.

(1} The grantee hereby covenants on behalf of itself, its heirs, successors and assigns
at all time to restore, maintain and preserve this property in accordance with the
recommended approaches of the "Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic buildings" (National
Park Service, 1989) in order to preserve those qualities that make this property

(2) No construction, alteration or rehabilitation shall be undertaken or permitted to be

(3) The IHPA shall be permitted at all reasonable times to inspect the property in
order to ascertain if the above conditions are being met.
(4) In the event of a violation of this covenant, and in addition to any remedy now or
hereafter provided by law, the IHPA may, following reasonable notice to the
grantee, institute suit to enjoin said violation or to require the restoration of the

(5) This covenant is binding on the grantee, its heirs, successors and assigns in
perpetuity. All stipulations and covenants contained herein shall be inserted by
the grantee verbatim or by express reference in any deed or other legal instrument
by which the grantee divests itself of any interest in the property or any part

to run with the land. Execution of this covenant shall constitute conclusive
evidence that the grantee agrees to be bound by the foregoing conditions and
