RE | x a ae Eee ae © eet ey a ten, 7 as ne a -- WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1923 9 THE BEACH MANOR PROJECT b Some time ago there appeared in the columns of the Lake Shore News mention of the "BEACH MANOR" project, contemplating the erection of a residential hotel owned and op- erated upon the multiple home own- ership plan. The announcement has just been made that Beach Manor is to be completed by May 1st, 1924. The Hotel is to be located on Sheridan Road and Lake Michigan, between Wilmette and Kenilworth, and will contain 120 homes of four, five and six rooms. The difficulties in the way of its erection because of the loca- tion upgn "No Man's Land" have been removed. These difficulties were in regard to water and sewage, and the contract has been signed by the Sanitary District of Chicago agree- ing to connect the Hotel directly with the North Shore Channel. Artesian wells have been sunk which after analysis by one of the most prominent Chicago chemists are reported to furnish cooler and purer water than taken from Lake Mich- igan. Beach Manor has been designed by Mr. N. Max Dunning, an architect with a national reputation, vice-presi- dent of the Architects' Association of America, Chief Adviser of the City Beautiful Plan Commission of Chi- cago, and one of the Associate Arch- itects of the Furniture Mart which will be erected upon Lake Shore Drive and will cover one and one- half million square feet and cost ap- proximately $10,000,000. An unusual feature of the Architect's work lies in the fact that he has been assisted by his wife, Mrs. Anna Dun- ning, who has designed the layout of the apartments and drawn the pic- tures of the Hotel as it will appear from the Sheridan Road side of the Lake Shore frontage upon comple- tion. The members of the syndicate pro- moting the Beach Manor project are W. C. Davis, President of Davis- Watkins Dairymen's Mfg. Co., whose business was recently sold for over three million dollars; Hermon 8. Blaich, of Mutual Trust Life Insur- ance Co. Chicago; Patrick J. Mec- Cardle, of Counsel for Chicago Sur- face Railways: A. E. Wells, Wells Bros. Construction Co., Harold C. Dix, of Cline & Dix, Realtors; and Omar C. Harris, prominent engineer and originator of the project. The cost is placed at two and one half million dollars and already thirty-five apartments have been disposed of. This is a novel home owning plan originated by a group of business and professional men who desire to secure exclusiveness and seclusion in the home which the ownership of an in- dividual home does not always guar- antee. y Sam Atkinson Very careful arrangements both in the building plan and in the selection of owners, have been made, so that these requirements shall be preserved. To secure the best ideas regarding the management of such an establish- ment, they have covered this coun- try and continental Europe. From the Parisian Falansteries and the best equipped hotels in Europe and Amer- ica they have secured ideas upon ar- rangement and management which will guarantee a combination secur- ing all owners the advantages of city, suburban and resort life combined. The main building will contain 120 apartments of four, five and six rooms, with hotel, restaurant, grill rooms, coffee shops, commissaries, drug store, physicians' and dental of- fices, gymnasium, garage facilities ac- commodating at least 120 cars, with a perambulator and playroom for the children during the months they are prevented by the weather from mak- ing use of the sand beach. It is estimated that the multiple ownership plan will save about fifty per cent of the cost compared to leasing a like apartment building or owning a private home with the same beautiful surroundings. It is certain that more than fifty per cent of the annoyances, inconveniences and hard work needed to manage a private house will be eliminated. More floor space is given with greater accommodations than can be found in any other hotel in the Chi- cago district. The servant question is settled for all time by the purchase of a home in this establishment. The greatest objection the individual home owner has to face, that of a possible change in neighborhood, has been re- moved by the selective method which the Company are putting into effect. A committee formed from those who have already purchased apartments will handle future applications and pass upon the desirability of the ap- plicants. Our ideals of home life are chang- ing. A representative of the Company who has been in Europe has made the statement that fifty years from now there will not be a castle in Europe occupied as a residence. The British aristocracy are living in hunt- ing lodges and town houses in pre- ference to having the trouble of handling a great retinue of servants. The real aristocracy of America are the business and professional people. Changing conditions have made it im- possible to secure the right kind of help in managing a home. Beach Manor will remove all these difficulties. All the seclusion of a country home is guaranteed, yet just outside your door you will find all the social pleasure needed to make life Kenilworth Happenings Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

So many claims are made upon the society woman of today that she is likely to become a nervous wreck if she has the care of an individual home upon her shoul- ders. Beach Manor does not take away from her the joy of housekeep- ing, but removes all the petty an- noyances and gives her freedom to run her home in any manner she finds most suitable. The sound proof walls insure quiet- ness. The electrical ranges, mechan- ical refrigeration, and all modern de- vices make it possible for her to dis- pense with any help if she so desires. If not, the management will make ar- rangements for the rendering of any service necessary. Should she require to entertain a larger number of guests than she can accommodate in her own apartment, there will be at her dis- posal guest rooms of various sizes, so that any kind of reception or any form of entertainment can be furn- ished her guests. The building and grounds will cover a four hundred foot frontage with a stretch of sandy beach equal to any- thing to be found along the lake shore. The owners will have their own yacht club and the boating facil- ities and accommodations will be complete; as well as the privilege of bathing in the lake, a large swimming pool will be built adjoining the gym- nasium. The location of Beach Manor is most picturesque. Located between Kenilworth and Wilmette, within easy access of almost fifty country clubs, with dozen of large private homes in the neighborhood backed by a most wonderful arboretum of trees, gardens and lawns, with a view of the lake for miles from practically all apartments, constructed so that there will be sunshine in each for the major portion of the day, nothing could be more desirable. From a practical standpoint, the easy access by road and rail, with the fact that Chicago telephone service without toll will be installed, makes Beach Manor an ideal location for the busy executive, pro- fessional or business man, who de- sires to spend the greater portion of the year near his interests in Chicago. tion of owners insures the protection of his family socially. The Company under the firm name of Beach Manor, Inc, have opened offices at 11 S. La Salle Street and will be glad to furnish further in- formation to those desirous of under- standing "the multiple home owner- ship plan." They are not in the real estate business, but a group of earnest people who are interested in secur- ing an ideal home and are willing ta back their ideas with their dollars. Adv.
