Winter- botham, for many years residents of Winnetka, broke ground last week for their new home in Westmoor Trail. The new residence is to be of solid masonry construction, finished in rough Wisconsin limestone. Mr. and Mrs. Winterbotham returned a few days ago from a trip to Wisconsin where they made a personal selection of the character of stone that they are to put into their new home, which is to be of strictly Colonial type, after designs by Mr. Varney, also a resident of Winnetka.
