Chicago architect Charles Whitney Stevens designed it for advertising executive William McJunkin.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the house as a rare Jacobethan Revival form of Tudor Revival design, with an intact, richly detailed interior. Ornamental plaster ceilings, an oval flying staircase and original 1920s wallpapers, including a scenic dining room paper, reflect high-style decorating trends of the period. It is also tied to McJunkin, a Chicago advertising executive, and to Stevens's North Shore residential work.","narrative":"Built in 1929 on the Lake Michigan shore in Winnetka, this twelve-room house at 151 Sheridan Road was designed by Chicago architect Charles Whitney Stevens for William McJunkin, founder of a national advertising agency, and his family. It is a two-story rectangular block of rough-cut limestone with cast stone trim, a hipped clay tile roof and an attached three-car garage. The Sheridan Road front is marked by a shaped Flemish gable over the entrance, in the Jacobethan Revival style, a rare form of Tudor Revival. Inside, a wide central hall holds an oval flying staircase with a balcony, and the living and dining rooms have ornamental plaster ceilings and friezes. Original wallpapers, including a scenic dining room paper whose horizon line matches that of the lake, reflect decorating trends of the 1920s. The house has remained a single-family residence, and the nomination values its architecture and well-preserved interior.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Charles Whitney Stevens, architect","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival (Jacobethan Revival)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling; some alterations noted, such as replacement windows and kitchen updates, with original doors, cabinetry and elevator retained.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:37.417701-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/39/8921/28892139/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/06000104.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000104/82235e1c6f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/06000104/82235e1c6f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Thshriver","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McJunkin,_William_House_3.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Thshriver</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:McJunkin,_William_House_3.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28892139","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_McJunkin_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q96415169"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/cook-county/mcjunkin-william-house-06000104/"}
