Forest Preserve District plans repairs to historic Graue Mill
By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com
T
he Forest Preserve District of DuPage County is planning to invest thousands of dollars to revamp a pair of its historic buildings in the coming months. Both St. James Farm in Winfield and Graue Mill in Oak Brook will be getting a construction face-lift. Kevin Horsfall, the district’s director
of planning, said the Graue Mill project will be the bigger of the two, coming in around half a million dollars. “Over the years, flooding at Salt Creek has taken a minor toll on the building, so we want to make it a more resilient structure in the future against flooding to make sure the mill can be appreciated by future generations,” he said.
