Campana Factory (Boundary Decrease)

This record concerns the Campana Factory near Batavia, Kane County, Illinois, and documents a correction to the boundary of the listed property. The original boundary included land that was not part of the factory grounds, including parts of state and local roads and highways and a plot of land east of Illinois Highway 31. The revised boundary covers only the factory building, its front lawn and its approach. The nominated area shrank from twenty-one acres to sixteen. The new description places the property in the northwest quarter of Section 15, bounded by the Geneva and Batavia Highway (Illinois 31) and the Chicago and North Western Railroad right-of-way. The decrease was accepted by the Keeper of the National Register on December 18, 1980. The original nomination text, with its description of the building and its historical significance, is missing from this file, so the reasons for the listing and the factory's design and history cannot be drawn from it.
