The owner of the house at 292 S. Arlington Ave. wants to consolidate the lot with another and replace the $2 million historic home with a new one. Residents are urged to protest the demolition of a historic house. A hearing is planned next week.
Richard “RJ” Parrilli and his wife, Alyssa Parrilli, appeared with their lawyer, Francis Bongiovanni, at an Elmhurst public hearing Monday. They want to tear down the nearly century-old house at 292 S. Arlington Ave., which neighbors oppose. One said the city is at a “tipping point.”
The owner of the historic house at 292 S. Arlington Ave. is requesting the city change the zoning designation, so he can demolish the house and replace it. The city is being asked to reject a homeowner’s request for a zoning change. The owner paid $2 million.
