fo. % Se SI ry - st pint a i i | | May 28, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 37 Oliver M. Knode Purchases George W. Blossom Home The George W. Blossom residence property in the Hubbard Hills section east of Green Bay road, has been pur- chased by Oliver M. Knode, vice-presi- dent of the U. S. Gypsum Co., who recently occupied the same. This is one of the finest residential properties on the north shore, com- prising as it does something like three acres of nicely wooded grounds trav- ersed by two deep ravines, and also the scene of developed gardens for which it has long been noted. The buildings and other improvements are also quite extensive and in keeping with an ideal development of this particular section. The sale was made by Arthur C. Gedge, of the firm of Hill & Stone, 543 Lincoln avenve Winnetka, the con- sideration being undisclosed. As part of the purchase price, however, Mr. Blossom took in exchange a two and one quarter acre piece of vacant in the Indian Hill section, which the same broker has sold to an undisclosed pur- chaser represented by Dudley Brad- street, of P. W. Bradstreet & Co., 788 Elm street. Mr. Gedge, of the Hill & Stone firm also reports as recent sales, the Frank Kristof residence property at 1129 Cherry street, to Lloyd F. Hollister, and the residence property formerly owned by Mr. Hollister at 813 Pine street, to Mr. Kristof.
