ETHS to Move 'Geometry in Construction' House on August 3

Evanston Township High School (ETHS) will move a two-story home on Monday, August 3, beginning at 9 a.m. The home will move from 1600 Dodge Ave. to 2120 Darrow Ave.

The 'Geometry In Construction' course at ETHS provides students the opportunity to learn math by building a home, which is then sold as affordable housing. The program is a collaboration between ETHS, the City of Evanston, and Community Partners for Affordable Housing.

The home will depart ETHS, travel east on Lake Street, north on Dodge Avenue, east on Simpson Street, and north on Darrow Avenue. View the route map.

There will be no parking along part of the moving route. Community members can expect minor delays accessing homes and businesses during the move. Darrow Avenue will be closed from Simpson to Payne Streets from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., including both sidewalks. No parking will be allowed during the street closure.
