"Unfortunately, this lamentable event is indicative of the lack of enforceable strength embodied in the historic preservation ordinance in Glencoe,” said Eddis Goodale, president of the Glencoe Historical Society. “Despite the laudable efforts of the Glencoe Historical Society, the Glencoe Historic Preservation Commission, preservation-minded local residents, and national Frank Lloyd Wright organizations, the loss of this Wright structure is a body blow to the architectural pedigree of Glencoe.”
