Home Where Walt Disney was Born to be Preserved

The house where Walt Disney and his brother Roy were born, in Chicago, is being preserved. It was sold to a California Couple who says they are going to make it an historic landmark.

The home is located in the Hermosa neighborhood, at 2156 N. Tripp Ave. They plan to turn the home into a historical site, museum and community resource “with the mission of enhancing and exploring childhood creativity.”

The home was built by Disney’s father in 1893. They lived there until Walt was around 4 years old.

On Disney’s birthday Thursday, the new owners will join a team of preservationists and celebrators at the home to launch a campaign with hopes of raising $500,000 to help fund renovations.

It is said donors will receive some great prizes ranging from a one-night stay in the home to their name inscribed in a leather-bound book that will be featured in the house.

Wishing you Faith,Trust, and Pixie Dust
