Property Overview & History

The Foster School is a 3 story, 51,000 square-foot building. The original portion of the building was constructed in 1908, and additions were added in 1928 and 1932. In 1958, a fire destroyed the original 1908 portion of the school, which was then replaced with a new addition in 1959. In 1979, the Foster School was closed, and Family Focus acquired the property in 1987. An elevator and entrance vestibule addition were added to the main east entrance in 2010. The property was designated as a City of Evanston Landmark in 2018. Tap below for more information about the building.
