B. Whitaker company, large and established North Shore real estate firm, yesterday announced both the enlargement of its architectural diâ€" vision and the selection of James J Gathercoal as its head. In making this announcement, Ralph iB. Kraetsch, wvice president of the firm, stated that under Mr. Gathercoal‘s direction, ground has been broken for three new homes representing a total cost of $97,400, and plans for additional houses are nowâ€" nearing completion. "These homes are all to be customâ€" built," said Mr. Kraetsch. "That is, each house is to be planned and erected to meet the individual reâ€" quirements and wishes of each parâ€" ticular owner, and to conform with that particular site which he may either choose or already own. "In selecting Mr. Gathercoal to direct our architectural work, we took into account his extensive early architectural training at both the University of Illinois and in Europe, and later under Chester Walcott. "During recent years, he has deâ€" signed and built many outstanding North Shore homes. When the lull came in residential building, Mr. Gathercoal turned to commercial architecture for Aldis and Company of â€"Chicago, Lobbies in the Cable, Champlain, and 111 South Dearborn buildings, and modernization of off fices in the Rookery and Monadâ€" nock buildings, ate some of his betâ€" terâ€"known projects in this field." Mr. Gathercoal will have his ofâ€" fices in the Whitaker bnildim Winnetka, which houses the I division of the Whitaker firm, alâ€" though he will also serve as consulâ€" tant on architectural problems arisâ€" ing in the company‘s Wisconsin ofâ€" fices in Kenosha.
