Overview
- Project manager Scott Price says the interior is being returned to its 1990 appearance, with the owner footing the bill and no timeline disclosed.
- Construction is visible from the street, including a notice on the fence and boarded doors and windows.
- More than 100 people are visiting daily this season to see the exterior and snap photos.
- Images released during the $5.5 million January sale showed a stark minimalist redesign that drew widespread criticism online.
- Many interior scenes were originally filmed at New Trier Township High School, so the renovation is a recreation of the movie’s on-screen design rather than a literal restoration of past interiors.
