i ho = | December 3, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 67 REMAKE TWO HOMESITES INTO FINE SUBDIVISION Historical Landmarks in Glencoe East Side to Be Razed to Carve Grounds Into 14 Lots In a few weeks work will have been started on the Dennis lane subdivision, lying between Green Bay road and Greenleaf avenue, Glencoe, which, in all probability will be the last sub- division in this section of the village. It is a significant fact that this choice parcel of land, comprising, as |§[f it does, something like four and one- fourth acres, wooded, with an average elevation about fifteen feet higher than all surrounding territory and in the heart of the highly developed section of east side Glencoe, should, at this late date, come into the market for subdivision purposes. Bought When Land Was Cheap But this is not the first time this tract has been utilized by home build- ers. Because of its choice location it was selected by the very first settlers in Glencoe. Land was cheap then, and large parcels were chosen for the erec- tion of the two old homes which are now on this tract and which are soon to be torn down. These are the historic old residences built by Charles M. Dennis on a two and three-quarter acre tract fronting on Greenleaf avenue and by the late Dr. Alexander Hammond, the real father of the village, who built No. 777, Green Bay road, on a one and one-half acre parcel backing up to the Dennis tract, to the east. Pictures of these two fine old resi- dences, together with historical data with which they are surrounded, fea- ture the front page of the real estate section of this paper. Comprises 14 Lots The plat of the Dennis lane. subdivi- sion has already been approved by the village board. It will comprise 14 fine lots, the frontage of which will run from 66 to 100 feet and the depth from 173 to 200 feet. Twenty-foot concrete pavements will feature the street lay-out, while restrictions to the building of houses not to cost less than $15,000 and with an adequate set-back provision, insures what is sought in high grade develop- ment for this historical spot. The plans now being formulated are backed by a syndicate, headed by McGuire & Orr, whose Glencoe repre- sentative, Stuart I. Drum, will handle the business in connection therewith from the McGuire & Orr real estate office at 316 Park avenue.
