{4 Re January 21, 1928 WINNET KA TALK 35 Architect Builds Norman-French Home Building activity is evident in the new De Windt Road section of Daughaday Acres, Winnetka, where Chester H. Walcott, the architect, has recently finished a new home and is now comfortably installed." Just to the west of the Walcott house, Mon- tague Ferry is soon to erect another country home, and several other pur- chasers are now completing their plans. The De Windt Road section is off the central highway, Hill road, and presents fine possibilities for artistic landscaping. It is near enough to Winnetka to make depots, stores, schools and other conveniences quick- ly acessible by motor. Commuters, anxious to enjoy the spaciousness of life in the country with city facilities close at hand, have found in this se- cluded district that ideal combination. There has been brisk competition for the few available sites on De Windt road. Building in this section has neces- sarily been restricted to better class residences. The Walcott house, shown above, embodies an unusual free treat- ment of Norman-French characteris- tics that make it worthy of study. The stone and colored brick of the house, with its second story of timber and plaster, blend into the colorful back- ground as part of the picture. Its dignity is accentuatéd by an impres- sive stone entrance and a roof of irregular slate. A two-car motor room, connected with the main hall by a separate corridor, does not dis- turb the lines of the structure. French precedent is noticeable in- side. A unique wrought iron rail bor- ders the broad hall stair. The floor of the hall and dining room is gun metal colored terrazzo, set with brass insert strips in various designs. This room is perhaps the most striking of the eleven in the house, with its dis- tinctively patterned wall paper repro- Building and Loan Association of Evanston (Incorporated) Under State Supervision 513 Davis St. Phone Greenleaf 1617 duced from examples of French art. There are four main bedrooms with three baths and two maids' rooms with bath on the second floor. The only departure from the dominating Nor- man scheme is in the small book room --a quiet, cosy hideaway panelled in pine and furnished after the Early American. The house is typical of Walcott de- signs which have found decided favor all along the North Shore. Twenty or more are now to be seen in Winnetka alone. Walcott, the architect for St. Chrysostom's church, Chicago, was last year awarded a gold medal and the commission to design the new mil- lion dollar Y. M. C. A. in Evanston. The War Memorial Community House in Menasha is a notable example of his work, and others are to be seen in Evansville, Ind, Alton and other towns in Southern Illinois. BROADCASTS FROM NEW YORK Harry Hansen, formerly of Elder lane, and literary editor of the Chi- cago Daily News, now serving the New York World in the same «ca- pacity, greatly interested his former neighbors and friends in Winnetka Thursday evening when he was heard over station WGBS, New York. He spoke during the program broadcast at the O. Henry memorial annual prize story dinner given by the So- ciety of Arts and Science. This din- ner is held each year when the O. Henry committee awards the $500 prize for the best short story of the seasof.
