Downtown Glen Ellyn National Register Listing

The Village's central business district was recently approved for listing on the National Register of Historic Places for both a north district (north of the railroad tracks) and a south district (south of the railroad tracks). A map of the National Register Districts can be found here. There are many benefits to being listed on the National Register, including:

  • Historic districts recognize the historic and architectural importance of buildings throughout the nation; and help to preserve the character and identity of communities
  • Historic districts may promote the economic vitality of the Central Business District through the growth of new and existing businesses
  • Many people across the country enjoy taking part in heritage tourism and visiting historic buildings, museums and districts
  • Tax incentives are available for the certified rehabilitation of income-producing properties listed on the National Register
