Arlington Heights is a northwest-suburban village that grew rapidly during the postwar suburban boom of the 1950s and 1960s. The bulk of its detached single-family housing stock was built during these two decades — directly inside the peak asbestos era for popcorn ceilings, vinyl floor tiles, and pipe insulation.
