July96,!94 WIL EiT ALia a JDESIGN FOR REALTY BUILDING . Following the announcement made in these columns a few weeks ago that the R. B. Whittaker company wouId soon begin the erection of a new busi- ness home in Winnetka, ground was broken Monday for what plans reveal to be one of the largest and most mod- ern structures of its kind in the Chi- cago. area. .It is designed,". the company ex- plains "to enable us to best deliver the several services we have -developed for the real estate and, building field, any- where on the north shore, f rom Evans- ton to Lake Forest." Tudor Cottage Design The twenty room, two-story and basement building wiIl be located at 140 Center street. It is modeled on the Tudor cottage of the general type huilt in Herefordshire, England. in the l8th century. The exterior wiIl be a combination of stucco, haîf timber work and brick, with the irregular %vindowvs sometimes found in Worces- ail the pergola timbers. (See the "be- fort" and "after" photographs.) The uiprigh t timbers were made parallel. The old exterior was shingled, over hea'.y building paper, both for ap-. i pearaîice and insulation. The front w~all of the house wvas cxteinded and a heavy set-mn colonial door %%ith -shutters added. The en- closed vestilb'ule thus created wes given a built-in rubber closet and a .%ide window towards the south for plants. Wrought-iron fixtures and a mail siot at the doorway now-con- tribute both beauty and convenience. A simple iron railing, ând a wooden trellis marks the small oPpen porch. Mlatching shutters with shutter dogs, give a needed effect of width in the second story front, and a third win- (10W on, the side improves a bedroom. The completed bouse bas prie coat of pale gray shingle stain, ýwith xnatching window trim, while the per- gola' timbers, door, trellis, and shut- ters are pain ted white' AIl brickwork is whitewashed. A number of shrubs and sword ferns screen the concrete fotandation and a part of the fenced back yard. The old ivy bas been res- cued f rom the ground and trained to cover the front wall., Cop.yright, 1934, Better Hdmes & Gar- dens. IGHLAND HOTEL, Modem hotel and ottageon lakeahoie. Ail sports.
