An architect and developer in Oak Park are forced to march down the Yellow Brick Road to the tune of nearly $190,000, according to a story in today’s Chicago Sun-Times. The team had approval from Oak Park to use modular brick, which fits the look of the area, for its six-story Opera Club condo development. But at the building permit stage, developer Alex Troyanofsky and architect John Scheiss switched to Norman brick. It’s the kind of thing that for decades has been settled in Chicago with a quiet hundo in the right palm, but Oak Park ain’t no sissy town.
