WINNETKA TALK September 3, 1927 Building and Remodeling Remodeling is an art in itself. In order to get the best results it is necessary to have men experienced in this line. The men employed by Mr. Ekelmann are of this caliber.

Hambly and company, who have operated on the north shore for several years and who recently moved their main offices from the Loop to the new Teatro del Lago building, 904 Spanish court, North Sheridan road, Wilmette. Ornamental chimney tops 'on so many chimneys have practical as well as esthetic value. They add height to a chimney and in this way increase its draft. Fine Building for Chicago's Internes Chicago's big hospital center is go- ing to have a $1,000,000 building for the internes. It is to be erected at the northeast corner of Wood and Van Buren streets. Plans have been drawn by Hall, Lawrence & Ratcliffe for a thirteen story structure. In the upper floors there'll be 144 suites of rooms for the medical students. Each will be arranged with a living room and bed room while a few will have kitchen- ettes, similar to the newest dormitories at the eastern universities, according to to the architects.

Phone Winnetka 734-35-36 823 Spruce Street North Shore Vacant Is Becoming Scarce Say Winnetka Brokers Vacant property on the north shore is becoming very scarce as the summer season draws to a close. Real estate brokers operating in this section declare that they have disposed of many parcels of land to persons who intend to build homes in keeping with those already constructed. "North shore vacant has always had a ready sale," says a statement issued by Crosby & McKendry of Winnetka. "This summer we were surprised by the extra heavy demand for desirable build- ing sites. The speculator seems to have been eliminated, and most of the sales being made now are to persons who intend to build homes." One particular piece of property be- ing offered by this firm is a plot in Lake Forest, adjoining the Onwentsia Country club, in the district of nine and ten acre estates. This property is 200 by 235 feet and is heavily wooded. The trees are fully grown, and it lies on a private road far away from the transient automobile traffic. Another feature is a clay tennis court, so sit- uated that it will interfere with build- ing operations. New Italian Club Will Cost $300,000 A newly formed Italian club of Chi- cago is going to build a $300,000 home instead of the customary one with a cost running into the "millions." There will be the usual lineup of club fea- tures, including an athletic department, dining room, men's and women's rooms, card rooms, a ballroom, and the like. Tt is designed by Alexander V. Capraro, and the new structure will be in the Italian renaissance style of architec- ture, four stories high.
