What River Forest does
to a freezer.

A steam sawmill opened on the east bank of the river in 1831, and Galena and Chicago Union Railroad trains began running through in 1849.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Winslow House is among the village's notable buildings.

The village is home to Dominican University and Concordia University Chicago and has a Metra station on the Union Pacific West Line.

Older housing stock

A freezer running on an old two-prong outlet, or fed by an extension cord from a basement lamp circuit, is a common find in older houses; it needs a grounded outlet of its own, and if there is ever a burning smell the breaker goes off only from a dry panel away from it.

Built-in columns and drawers

Freezer drawers under a stone counter in a designed kitchen carry a custom panel on each drawer front, and when a drawer stops sealing the cause is often that panel's weight on the slides rather than the gasket alone.

Mixed housing

A mixed street holds chest freezers thirty years old on their original compressor next to new frost-free uprights with electronic controls, and the old one is often the easier to keep going, with a mechanical thermostat and a relay still sold as parts.
