The “Lilac House” Brings Year-Round Joy to Lombard Neighborhood
One Lombard home is quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite during Lilac Time — and throughout the entire year.
Located at 417 W Woodland Ave in Lombard, Lilac House local resident Rob Moser has spent the past two years transforming his home with colorful themed lighting displays that brighten Woodland Avenue and bring smiles to neighbors of all ages.
“Last year was the first year we did a lilac theme,” said Moser. “I love bringing joy to the neighbors and many have told us they love driving or walking by and seeing the lighting every month.”
The now well-known “Lilac House” changes themes monthly, giving residents something new to look forward to throughout the year. During Lilac Time, the home glows in shades of purple and lilac in celebration of Lombard’s beloved annual tradition.
The displays have become especially popular with local families. One story shared by Moser perfectly captures the impact the lights have had on the neighborhood.
“One neighbor from around the corner told us for Halloween that’s how they got their son to eat dinner,” Moser said. “He loved the lights and they told him, ‘If you eat your dinner, we can go see the lights.’”
