Work Continues At Disney Home In Chicago
Restoration work has begun on the birthplace of Walt Disney. Those behind the restoration project on the Chicago home that Disney lived in from 1901 to 1906 had hoped to have the work completed by now. Because of problems with funding and the condition of the building, they’ve only just begun returning the outside of the home to its original appearance, and there’s no timeline for when it will be open to visitors.
“We do hope to get the home itself done very quickly,” said Todd Regan, executive vice president of the Walt Disney Birthplace. “The most important thing is to protect it from the winter, make sure the house is stabilized, and all those are the things that are happening right now.”
