Since the early days of Mokena, 11014 Front Street has been a place where the community has come together to conduct business and socialize. The now flattened, Dina's Barbershop, was the most recent inhabitant. For decades Mokenian's went to Tony Dina's for a trim and good conversation. If those walls could talk, the history of this town would be told with creativity and full of color!
Before the haircuts, the Schuberth's built their hardware store here in 1862 and it remained an active place of business until it was destroyed by a fire in 1929. It wasn't until 1950 that Tony Dina built his barbershop and later added his home onto the back of the barbershop.
Today this lot sits empty, but the "ghosts" of these two buildings still hang around and remind us of the rich history that has taken place on these grounds.
