Pond, known for Arts and Crafts design. It shows their asymmetrical massing, honest use of brick, limestone, copper and slate, and artistic treatment of windows and doors. The interior retains natural-finish oak woodwork, built-in furniture and prominent fireplaces typical of the style.","narrative":"Built in 1904 at 1306 Seventh Street in LaSalle, Illinois, this thirty-five-room brick residence was designed by the Chicago firm Pond & Pond, led by brothers Irving K. and Allen B. Pond. It measures 94 by 38 feet and rises three stories, with an asymmetrical plan, slate gable roofs, copper gutters, brick buttresses at the corners and a distinctive five-pane diamond motif in many windows and doors. A brick-walled garden terrace and a c. 1915 greenhouse stand on the 1.75-acre lot. Inside, natural-finish oak woodwork, chamfered beam ceilings, built-in benches, cabinets and window seats, and several large fireplaces reflect Arts and Crafts interior design. The Ponds were known for simple forms, little applied ornament and honest use of natural materials, and this house is considered representative of that approach. Three east wing rooms were renovated about 1975 for a caretaker, slightly reducing integrity. The house is now vacant and under restoration by a non-profit foundation.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Pond & Pond (Irving K. Pond and Allen B.
