July 30, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 11 HOME OF PIONEERS LOCATED IN WILMETTE Log Cabin, Now Effectively Cam- ouflaged, Falls Into Path of New Street Project Nestling quietly and serenely on the same little parcel of ground which has been its "home" for ninety vears or more, stands a little log cabin defiantly overlooking the recent development of | Pine Crest sub-division, west from Ridge road, Wilmette, which, ultim- ately spells the doom of what is said to be the oldest structure in New Trier township. Few people on the north shore, per-| haps, are aware of the history attached to this residence property. Few, if any, there are who have not driven past it many times. To be sure its camou- flaged exterior whereby it original con- | struction of logs is hidden, and the structure converted into a comfortable little cottage now owned by Albert Zeutschel, and bringing a monthly rental of $25, presents no unusual ap- pearance, Faces Wrecker's Sledge The home is located on the west side of Ridge road at a point where Central avenue, when extended, will pass, all of | which means that soon the old land mark will fall victim to the steady and | ruthless march of progress. Albert Zeutschel, who has owned the | property for the past five or six years, resides at 429 Ridge road, directly south of the old landmark. The his- torical log cabin, several years ago was modernized by the addition of an exterior of weather boards, the instal- lation of modern window sash and the addition of a porch. Fred Montonera | now lives there. | Mr. Zeutschel, who has lived in that section of Wilmette for 63 years, re-| calls that the little cabin of that day | was standing where it now is as far| back as he can remember. Nicholas Bleser of 545 Ridge avenue, | was born in Gross Point in 1860, and has always lived in that vicinity. "That | was an old log cabin as far back as I MARINELLO BEAUTY SHOP | 733 Elm Street For Appointment Phone Winnetka 822 can recollect," Mr. Bleser said, when | asked regarding its early history. The story current when Mr. Bleser | was a child set the time of the con- | struction of the cabin as far back as 1838, one Discheit, a carpenter, who occupied it for many years, having been the builder. { Mr. Bleser says he is confident the | cabin was erected as early as 1838, but | is not certain that it was not an earlier | date than that. Others are of the| opinion that it was erected in about | 1832. | The Clarence Melhopes of 300 | Woodland avenue, with Jack and Ruth, | 50 | Phone } Center | Win. | St. 344 | of all kinds.
