Svoboda Building

Just east of the Tiemann Bakery Building is the Svoboda Building. Svoboda, was a weekly Czech-language newspaper, established at La Grange in 1885, by friends of Judge Augustin Haidušek. The name of the paper, Svoboda, means "liberty." The paper gave Haidušek a Czech-language journal friendly to his policy of supporting English-language instruction in public schools. (1928)
