Two Window Eras, Platted Fifteen Years Apart
Villa Grove's original 1887 plat and the 1902-era Frisco division-point rebuild produced two distinct waves of housing close together in the same small town, each with its own window styles and opening sizes. The Frisco's new townsite, built on 260 acres near the Embarras River, added housing on a different construction timeline than the 1887 'old town.'
Matching Replacement Windows to the Right Era
Knowing whether a Villa Grove home's windows date to the 1887 plat or the 1902 Frisco-era rebuild helps determine what opening sizes and styles to expect before ordering replacement units. That distinction is a useful starting point for any window project in town.
