New Trier 1936 Developments Spotlight North Shore
The Winnetka Wilmette Glencoe area in 1936 saw reforms in township politics with Republicans Gardner and Lynch winning narrow wins, a new Lake New Trier pool completion funded by WPA, a massive Winnetka Congregational church built debt free, and a new Saints Faith Hope and Charity Catholic parish. Also noted were the north shore harbor control debates, WPA projects, a major tunnel sewer, zoning rulings, and continued Skokie valley CCC work transforming marshes into lagoons.
