Hermitage Avenue in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago, designed by Clarence Hatzfeld and built in 1908, with a mid-1920s front addition by Andrew E. Norman and a detached garage.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a well-preserved example of the American foursquare type with Craftsman and Arts and Crafts influences. It is also the work of two locally significant architects, Hatzfeld (original design) and Norman (1920s addition). It remained in the Rozek family for nearly a century and retains excellent integrity.","narrative":"Located on a corner lot in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, this house at 6337 N. Hermitage Avenue began in 1908 as a classic American foursquare designed by architect Clarence Hatzfeld for printer Theodore Rozek and his family. It had a square form, a broad hipped roof with wide eaves, clapboard on the first story, stucco above, and a front porch with Doric columns. Simple ornament reflected Arts and Crafts and Craftsman influences. In the mid-1920s, architect Andrew E. Norman extended the living room and added a semicircular wrap-around porch with a corner entry, reusing the original columns, door and windows, and applying stucco to the first floor. Inside, original plaster walls, oak trim, hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry and leaded glass remain. A stucco garage sits at the rear of the lot. The house stayed with the Rozek family for nearly a century and is valued as a well-preserved foursquare shaped by two local architects.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Clarence Hatzfeld (original design, 1908); Andrew E.
