Historic Chapel on the Green,107 W. Center Street in Yorkville, has improved the facility’s accessibility.
Thanks to an $18,500 grant from the Aurora-based Community-Foundation of the Fox River Valley, the Chapel has installed handicapped accessible stair glide units. The units enable persons with mobility needs to more easily access the main level lobby, meeting rooms, restrooms, a basement community room, office space and the second floor.
Built in 1855, the Chapel is Kendall County’s oldest church building in continuous use. It features an 1899 pipe organ and original stained glass windows. The Chapel is home to Boy Scout Troops 40 and 50, Treasure Breads, Inc. a gourmet baking company; and Kalico Kwilters, a quilting group.
