It is described as an adaptation of a larger English country house suited to a North Shore suburban lot. The house and coach house are described as having excellent integrity.","narrative":"Built in 1909 for attorney John Rogerson Montgomery and his wife Marion, this Georgian Revival residence at 15 Old Green Bay Road in Glencoe was designed by Chicago architect Howard Van Doren Shaw. The L-shaped, 2-1/2-story house is faced in tapestry-pattern red brick and capped by a broad hipped roof with three symmetrical dormers. White wood trim, ladder-shaped trellises on the pilasters, and a Doric-columned entrance portico with a wrought iron balustrade mark the south front. Inside, a vaulted entry gallery leads to the main living rooms, while the service spaces occupy the rear wing. A red brick coach house, added in 1929 by Granger and Bollenbacher, served as a garage and servants' quarters. The property lies in the old Hubbard Woods area, and its lot was later reduced when the western parcel was sold in 1951. The house is valued as an example of Shaw's blending of English country house models with Arts and Crafts attention to materials and craftsmanship, and for its high degree of preserved original character.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Howard Van Doren Shaw (house); Granger and Bollenbacher (coach house)","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Georgian Revival; Arts and Crafts","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as undergoing a certified rehabilitation with two small rear additions not visible from the street; in use as a single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:37.111267-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/34/8920/28892034/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/04000974.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04000974/e90da25a31-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04000974/e90da25a31-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Teemu08","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Rogerson_Montgomery_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Teemu08</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:John_Rogerson_Montgomery_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28892034","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rogerson_Montgomery_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15229681"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/cook-county/montgomery-john-rogerson-house-04000974/"}
