Historic preservation panel approves interior window graphics for Hinsdale Barbershop

The Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission on Jan. 7 approved a sign-permit application for Hinsdale Barbershop at 20 West Hinsdale Avenue, authorizing interior-mounted vinyl graphics on a front window.

Austin, representing FASTSIGNS of Downers Grove, told the commission the graphics will be applied to the inside of the window ‘‘so no one can go from the outside and modify or attack the vinyl’’ and described the installation as standard. Commissioners offered brief, supportive comments during discussion and moved to approve the permit.

A motion to approve case A-54-2025 was placed and seconded; the commission carried the motion by roll-call vote. The staff record notes the installation will not require exterior alteration and permits will follow standard building-permit processes.

The item drew no public objection at the meeting; the applicant thanked the commission and left to proceed with permitting.
