Route Description

History

Fabyan Japanese Garden, c. 1925

The Fabyan Villa, just north of Fabyan Parkway's intersection with IL 31, was the home of George Fabyan from 1908 to 1939. [2] The villa is notable for its 1907 remodeling by Frank Lloyd Wright and its Japanese garden, built in 1910 by T. R. Otsuka. The Forest Preserve District of Kane County manages both the villa and the garden.

In 1972, construction was underway for the Kane County Corrections Complex, a new city jail that would cost 3.5 million dollars. [3] In 1974, the Fox River bridge was built west of IL 25. [4]
