If you grew up in Peoria Heights in the 1970’s do you recall the painted fire hydrants?
This was the work of Irene Hasenstein, a longtime Peoria Heights resident, who donated her time painting the fire hydrants to resemble animals such as dogs, or the school colors.
A fire hydrant memorial has been constructed on the Tower Park property in memory of Irene. Please make sure to stop by and check it out!
