Preemption House
offered more than just a place to eat & visit.
The main floor of the building had rooms
featuring a variety of crafts which had been practiced
in the early days of the Naper Settlement.

A number of examples of stained glass were on display
& were also offered for sale.



These panels show several different types of glass.

Additionally, other forms of
craftsmanship still used today
were represented.
For example,
this assortment of
tilework items.

Some of us, like Jerriann & Don Wilson,
discovered we could purchase some lovely
gifts in the shop there in the building.
There was quite an assortment of pieces
reminiscent of the earlier era.
