Lathrop House scratched at the end of April
Lathrop House Café, the latest in a series of restaurants to occupy the first floor of the house at 26 Lathrop Ave., has closed as of April 30. Owner Patrick O’Brien didn’t respond to calls seeking comment by deadline, but a post on the café’s official Facebook page stated that he wanted to focus on his two other, more successful, restaurants — Forest Park’s Scratch Kitchen and Lounge (SKL), 7505 Madison St., and Oak Park’s Scratch on Lake, 733 Lake St.
