Kapschull Paved Way to Prosperity in Deerfield, He Says Charles C. Kapschull, of the firm of Kapschull-Davis Co., Inc., general con- tractors, with offices in the Chamber of Commerce building in Chicago and in Deerfield, and who, since last Sep- tember, has conducted a general real | estate business in the latter place, was attracted to Deerfield, he said, as a result of his appreciation of the future outlook for the Village, gained at the time he was engaged in paving so many of its streets. His firm has done 80 per cent of the Deerfield paving. Also contracts in Highland Park, Winnetka, and elsewhere have been completed. Mr. Kapschull"s firm had the contract for laying the wide pavement up Linden avenue, from North avenue to Scott avenue, in Hubbard Woods, and also the intersecting streets in this section, a few years ago. A Good Omen He recalls that at that time, Hub- bard Woods had not grown to any- where near its present importance and value, and here, as elsewhere, it has been a notable fact, Mr. Kapschull points out, the installation of these progressive improvements was fol- lowed by the rise and development of the community in general. This, he says, he felt certain would be the base in Deerfield, and last fall, following the completion of much of his contracting work there, he decided to add the real estate business to his endeavors. Deerfield is also his home. Community Is Attractive Like the Hubbard Woods section growth and development, following its street improvement campaign, Mr. Kapschull anticipates a similar result in Deerfield, which he says is already being partially realized. Many people in recent months have been attracted to this community to make their future homes, and many others are coming, Mr. Kapschull says. Five Permits Issued for Glencoe Building Only five building permits issued in Glencoe during the month just ending, one-half the number issued February, 1927, but the total valuation of the im- provements authorized in February 1928 is almost double the February 1927 valuation. No permits were taken out for new residences last month, the outstanding improvement authorized being that of the new north school, at Vernon ave- nue and Green Bay road, costing $110,000. There was also one permit for a re- modeling job costing $2,000 and three for garages, costing $1,250, the grand total for the month being $113,250. HECHT HOMES FEATURE NEW BUILDING PERMITS Kenilworth Avenue West of Ridge Road, Site of Uniquely Designed Residences Wilmette, during the past month, maintained its February 1927 building record. both in regard to the number of permits issued and in the total valuation of improvements authorized. In February last year the twelve permits were all for new residences, the value of which was $140,500. The total permits issued during the month just closed was also an even dozen, but only 7 were for new residences; two for improvements in the business section amounting to $49,000; one for a remodeling job, costing $3,000 and one for a garage costing $475, a grand total of $140,975, which is slightly above the February 1927 total. Several New Homes Included in the February permits are three for new residences in the twenty hundred block on Kenilworth avenue, west of Ridge road, which it is said are the first of 78 which Albert S. Hecht, the well known architect and builder, and associates, are preparing to build here. These houses are to be of pressed brick, on hollow tile, and of high grade construction, throughout, Mr. Hecht announces. They will 'be lo- cated on large lots, none of which has less than fifty feet frontage and vari- ous types of architecture will be used to beautify the development. It is also planned, Mr. Hecht says, further to beautify this tract, with a fountain and special landscaping at the entrance, just off Ridge avenue, at the end of Kenilworth avenue. List Other Permits Other permits issued during the past month were to T. E. Halldorson for a $12,000 brick residence at 1720 Cen- tral avenue; to J. B. Cauleus, for a brick veneer residence at 1121 Chest- nut avenue, costing $14,000; to James Crabb for an $8,000 brick veneer resi- dence at 225 Sixteenth street; to A. L. Schwall, for an $8,000 brick resi- dence in the new west section of the village; to the Krauss Cleaning works for an addition to their plant at 1215 Washington avenue, costing $19,000 and to Alfred C. Wolff for a brick store building at 1119-21 Central ave- nue, costing $30,000. There was also a permit for a re- modeling job costing $3,000 and for two garages costing $475. HERE'S BIT OF ADVICE As one authority puts it, "the cost of a building site should not go over 15 per cent of the cost of a $4,000 house, 20 per cent of an $8,000, and 30 per cent of house costing $16,000."
