EVANSTON, IL The Evanston City Council Monday authorized lease negotiations with a tenant for the long-vacant landmark Harley Clarke Mansion and Coach house, a city-owned lakefront property that faced potential demolition in 2018.
After reviewing four proposals for the renovation of the property, aldermen voted 7-1 to approve a proposal from for the Artists Book House a library, bookshop, arts studio and cafe. Ald. Tom Suffredin, 6th Ward, voted against, and Ald. Ann Rainey, 8th Ward, abstained. Final approval of a negotiated lease will require six votes, according to city staff.
