What Wilmette does
to a freezer.

The area began as forested land with high bluffs along the lake, where wooden steps were built down to the beach.

Settlement picked up after the Chicago and Milwaukee Railroad laid its tracks in 1855.

The only Bahá'í House of Worship in North America stands in the village.

On a lake

Damp air off fresh water keeps a freezer's lid or door gasket wet through the warm months, and mildew in the gasket folds, then a split seam, lets humid air in until the rim is frosted solid and the lid no longer closes flat.

Older housing stock

In a cellar the freezer shares the air with a boiler in winter and damp foundation walls in summer, so it meets two different rooms in one year, and a unit that ran fine in January and struggles in July is sorted between the room and the part.

Family houses

A family freezer holds the weekly shopping, the meal prep and the ice pops, and its door is often left resting against a bag or a box by a child in a hurry, so a door alarm that chirps every day is the signal to check the seal and the latch.
