Ordinance 0-7-01, sets forth criteria for consideration of Landmark designation. The buildings at 102 and 106 Stephen Street taken as a campus, possess the integrity of design, workmanship, materials, location, setting and feeling specified by the ordinance. 1. Significant Value as part of the historic, heritage or cultural characteristics of Lemont, Cook County, State of Illinois, or the United States. Conzen's Looking for Lemont documents 1862 as the year of construction for the building at 102 Stephen Street and J.H. Tedens as the builder. In 1896 Tedens made additions to the building. The refurbished structure, built of locally quarried limestone, had 2 stories, including an opera house upstairs and occupied approximately 2,400 square feet, built of local limestone. What we now refer to as 106 Stephen Street is shown on 1886 and 1894 Sanborn maps as part of the large Tedens and Dystrup complex, located on the south bank of the I & M Canal. In 1886 and 1894, the complex included a general store, storage buildings, a harness shop, a shoe shop, flour and feed warehouse and coal shed. In 1911, the site also included a saloon and stage hall, extending to 110 Stephen. One distinctive feature of the store allowed for the sale of limestone-Tedens had built his store with a tunnel leading directly to the canal. Tedens was the only proprietor between Chicago and LaSalle to hold property rights on the canal. Another interesting feature of the Tedens store was an iron vault Tedens installed in the mid-1860s. The vault which still exists in the building today, allowed for citizens to store their valuables and documents in the era preceding banks. The Opera House on the 2"d floor of the building, featured live entertainment from local talent and from around the country. Traveling lecturers, black minstrel shows, a Mozart symphonic group, and many other acts performed at Tedens. Local musicians wrote and produced musical productions. The Opera House was used countless times in the town's history for important local events, graduations, wedding receptions, and meetings of local organizations. It was a place for gathering with neighbors and celebrating important milestones in the town's development. When the era of live entertainment gave way to the American passion for film, Tedens Opera House was converted to a movie house. 2. Identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the development of Lemont. John Henry Tedens was born in Germany in 1833, emigrated to America and eventually landed in Mokena; Will County. In 1860 John moved to Lemont. Tedens, with investment help from a man named John Tourmahlen, began J.H. Tedens & Company in a small wooden building just south of the railroad tracks. He married twice and had six sons and a daughter which were raised in the original Tedens home on Talcott Avenue. He built the building on Stephen Street at the Canal in 1862. According to the 1870 census, John Sr. listed his assets as $7,500 in personal property and $2,500 in real estate in both the store and the home on Talcott Avenue. Tedens is listed as a retailer. It is clear from the numbers that business in the general store was brisk. The family was religious and were strong members of the Methodist Church. Church history lists the Tedens family as among those spiritually active families in town, alongside names like Brown and Norton. Tedens was Town Clerk in 1870 and 1871. When the village incorporated in 1873, Tedens was one of the original trustees; he is listed again in 1879. During the inquest into the Lemont Quarry Strike in May of 1865, Tedens was drafted to serve as a member of the jury. Tedens' sons remained in Lemont. John Henry Jr. continued in the general store which flourished until his death in 1938. He took on a new partner and the store became known as Tedens and Dystrup. Son George partnered in Tedens & Wertzler drug store at the corner of Stephen and Canal streets. Son Walter was very active in community affairs as a town trustee and volunteer fireman; Edward was appointed postmaster 1918 - 1936. We know that the original Tedens was involved in several business ventures in addition to the general store including an interest in the stone.quarry: Sanber, Tedens, Scheibe & Co. At its close in 1938, The store remained vacant for about 8 years and was purchased by Arthur Blench and Andrew Welter and re-opened in 1946 as Blench & Welter, a hardware store specializing in building materials. In 1978, the business was acquired by Gee Lumber and continued in operation well into the 1980's. 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 Lemont limestone known as "athens marble." The building at 106 Stephen Street is one of approximately a dozen buildings in the historic district constructed of native limestone. Its size (10 bays wide) is unique in the historic district. It is a two-part commercial block building, with Queen Anne detailing. The Granacki survey of the Historic District ranks the building Architecturally Significant as a substantial limestone commercial building with Queen Anne style detailing, and historically significant for its commercial associations with J.H. Tedens & Co., an important local dry goods store. The survey lists significant features: ten bay facade; decorative metal pediment and cornice; foliated ornament and 1895 cartouche inset in pediment; decorative brackets and recessed rectangular paneled frieze; ashlar stone lintels; stone panel "1861, 1895 J.H.T. & Co. It is a particularly fine example of its construction era in excellent condition and highly visible due to its location on Stephen Street at the I & M Canal. 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. Printed information documents J.H. Tedens as the builder, but no information is available as to the architect or designer of the building. 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 norther entrance to Lemont. The buildings at 102 and 106 Stephen Street figure prominently in the downtown skyline. They rank prominently among the landmarks in the Stephen Street commercial area. 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. The campus consisting of the buildings at 102 and 106 Stephen Street, particularly the building at 106 Stephen Street, present a high level of architectural significance to the historic district and to the community of Lemont.
