Exterior - Front
The house had a full gut rehab and addition which brought it back to life as well as expanded it for a growing young family.
New siding, thin and flush on the first floor, and larger shingled styled on the upper floor, sits on a brick base. The divided lites on the 1st and 2nd floors are a 5 over 1 pattern with an arched top, while they are 2 over 3 or 4 in a traditional style at the attic level.
Dark copper downspouts and gutters relate to the brick base color and play off of the dark green siding and cream trim.
The house won an Evanston Preservation Award and was granted an Illinois Tax Freeze for the work on its historic preservation.
