As you'll see in the photos below, we're ready to roll the Zook house tomorrow at 7 a.m. from its original location (since 1924) at 327 S. Oak St., Hinsdale, to 5901 S. County Line Road, Katherine Legge Memorial Park, Hinsdale, a distance of about a mile and one-half.
The stone-brick-tile-concrete backyard still needs to be cut in sections, and will move later.
All structures will be "parked" at the KLM Park for a few weeks while new foundations are prepared.
When the foundations are ready, we'll literally put all the pieces - the three sections of the house, the garage studio and the wall - together again, to form a unique and exceptional "Zook campus" at the Park, which already has the well-known Zook Lodge on its green and spacious grounds.

The northwest addition of the house is moved forward.
The garage-studio is moved forward.
From left to right - the northwest addition of the house, the main house (west side), the front of the house (east side; turned 180-degrees) and the garage-studio positioned at the front of their original site, 327 S. Oak St. - Oak Street left, Fourth Street right - and ready to move.
