Morton Grove is peppered with vintage buildings. Especially in the area North of Main St. where it becomes Lincoln Ave. and continues on Northwest.
The Bringer Inn is over 100 years old & Pequods Pizza appears to be some type of depression era structure at least.
There are also some vintage storefronts and a Moose Lodge etc. around town. But condos are/were springing up rather rapidly in the last few years.
I took a look at the 1924 Sanborn maps and saw only two possible candidates. There was a Hall on the third floor of the Post Office building which stood at the NW corner of Lincoln and Ferris, near the railroad tracks. There is also a nice brick garage on the north side of Lincoln between Ferris and Callie which could possibly have been one, although I would sooner guess it was always a garage. Also there were a number of roadhouses which could possibly have done that, but it seems unlikely. Morton Grove was tiny then.
