Bear “Poked”: Elmhurst Historic Home Likely Going Down
July 31, 2024
The house at 292 S. Arlington Ave., owned by Richard “RJ” Parrilli, is nearly a century old. Parrilli and his wife, Alyssa Parrilli, want to tear it down to make way for a new house. On Monday, July 1, 2024, alderman paved the way for the demolition of the house and the construction of a new one. Elmhurst resident Cathy O’Neill tells the City Council on Monday that the latest effort to demolish a historic home “poked the bear” of preservationists.
