Historic Firehouse Renovation
Village Of River Grove

A modern twist on bringing the indoors outside

2621 Thatcher Ave | River Grove, IL

In this special project, DAE Group had the opportunity to work in one of the partner's hometown on renovating an old firehouse with a rich history. The building itself is over 125 years old, originally, this building served as the town's first village hall and courthouse before being turned into a firehouse. Over time, it had two expansions – one in the 70s and another in the 90s. However, despite these changes, the firehouse's layout never really met the needs of the fire department, even though space was added. This is where DAE Group came in.

During the latest renovation, DAE Group not only added a new floor above the engine bays but completely redesigned the whole building to match the fire department's requirements. Working closely with the village and fire department, they managed to create a modern and functional space while preserving the building's historic charm. The result was a renovation that not only looked great but also worked better for the fire department's operations.
