One of Mokena’s oldest buildings and a true gem of Front Street; 11008 Front Street has been host to numerous businesses and families over its 160+ years long life. The property still stands today in all its glory, having been restored by local beautician and salon/home owner Laura Thiel!
We discuss the rich history of this building and the blog post that Matt wrote about the and then Israel sits down with Laura to discuss her home, what it was like when she bought it over 20 years ago, and the years-long process she went through to keep this beautiful property on Front Street when so many of its neighbors have gone by the wayside of progress.
