- ry V2 August 13, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 35 Model Home Now Being Built /O model homes, one of which is pictured above, are rapidly nearing com- pletion in Indian Hill Estates, Wilmette. The houses are being built by the Barry-Byrne company at the corner of Locust Road and Iroquois. The properties purchased in Indian Hill Estates by the Barry-Byrne company were 1sold by Benjamin Bills of the Bills Realty, Inc. "The construction of the house pictured is light-toned faced brick with steel casement windows, beamed lounges, picturesque slate roofing, and tile floor in the reception room of red gold and dull green tones. There are front and rear stairways in each house from basement to second floor. The living room is particularly spacious with delightful vistas and a fireplace that is unusual in design. The woodwork, of specially treated oak, is in a style harmonious with the fireplace and is distinctively new-art in type. The kitchen is completely equipped with every practical device to assist in making easier the work done there, It has an electrical dishwashing sink, electrical re- frigeration, a recessed ironing board, large electric ventilators, hood ventilated range and rubber tile floors. x Such special features as a garbage incinerator, an oil burner, automatic gas hot-water heater and cedar lined closet are especially appealing. The shuttered windows and beamed ceilings give the character of an old world tavern to the lounge rooms which are reached directly from the first hall by a special iron- wrought stair. The basement is as complete, and well finished as the balance of the house. Joins Realty Firm; Sells His Own Home H. B. Pruden, who is associated with the W. G. Stacey Realty com- pany, Linden avenue, Wilmette, an- nounces that he has sold his home at 631 Central avenue, Wilmette to Mrs. Marium Campbell for an undisclosed consideration. The house is of the story and a half bungalow type and contains six rooms. Back of this transaction there is an interesting story. Mr. Pruden for- merly was in the automobile selling business, but decided to make a change. He informed Mrs. Pruden that he thought he'd try real estate and the result was that two weeks ago he joined up with the Stacey firm. The Prudens had found their home a bit too large as a son had gone into business in another city and decided to sell their home. That, however, was before Mr. Pruden entered the real estate selling game. When he joined the Stacey firm Mrs. Pruden laughingly remarked he could quickly discover if he was a real estate man by disposing of his own home. That was somewhat of a challenge but Mr. Pruden met it and in less than two weeks' time he had sold his Central avenue home to Mrs. Campbell. "Guess if a fellow can sell his own home that fast, he should stick in real estate and sell others?" he asks. "What say?"
