This proposed community Of es-- , tates includes several hundred acres | of land to the east and southeast of . Libertyville, across the Des Plaines river. Included within its limits are . parts of the Murray, Schroeder, Du-- ba, Thornbury, Osborne, Hart and Copeland farms, as well as acreage . belonging to the Wickwire estate and some of the W. M. Hopkins prop-- | erty, facing east on St. Mary's Road. ' The property will be developed with homes, each one having from an acre to five or ten acres of land. Those wishing to live in Thornmbury Villlage will have the services of a comnlet building organization, which has already been formed. Wailiter Huenemoeder, an architect who is internationally famous, will design the homes for purchasers. A new studiotype English office is under construction at the northwest corner 'o( Rockland and St. Mary's Roads, and unon its compJetion will be the headquarters of Mr. Dall. _ Work was commenced last week on a $40,000 home for Benjamin L. Dall, of Chicago. This home will be of French country house style and will be built of white washed brick and timber exterior. Mr. Dall is pres ident of the association controljling Thornbury Village. Another excava-- ,tlon has been started for a home to 'be erected for Wm. E. Webster of By anston. The arrival of summer will see four other homes compjeted and ready for occupancy. Private water and sewer plants will be installed for each home. Henry Boysen, Lib OFFICE OF BENJAMIN L. DALL, TO BE ERECTED THIS $PRING THE BENJAMIN DALL HOME, NOW IN COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION ertyvyille well digger, is now at work sinking a well near the site of the Dall home. H. C. Burridge & Sons have been employed as landscape gardeners, and are busy transplant-- ing trees during the cold weather. A bit of history is attached to the naming of the community Thornbury Village. It is named after Thornbury Farm, owned by W. A. Brewerton, Chicago coal operator. Thornbury Farm was acquired by Mr. Brewer-- ton in 1917, purchasing it from a Mr. Hiljend, former vice president of the Milwaukee railroad. The farm was named Thornmbury, in memory of the birthplace of Mrs. Hilend's mother in England. HOME OF WILLIAM WEBSTER The area comprises approximate-- y 500 acres of natural beauty. Ge-- ographically, the location is very unique, as it is the only area of its kind to the west of the built--up North Shore, where transportation is at hand and where river frontage, beau-- tiful rolling country and accessibility to stores, churches and schools are combined. > e At the present time it is expected that there will be-- at least twelve homes under construction for own-- ers by the early part of the summer. W. R. Ross, of Libertyville and Chicago, will have active charge of all construction. New, winding roads have been con-- structed through the entire property, surfaced with finely crushed lime stone. A row of popjar trees has been planted along Rockland road, and the property otherwise beauti-- fled. .Wires have been strung for electric and telephone service, and gas is available. All in al!, Thorn-- bury Village is considered one of the most desirable places for a home to be found in the Chicago district. make us bhapp; in this !ife if we at-- tend to them.
