The reviewer accepted it under criterion C.","narrative":"Built around 1910 at 80 Laurel Avenue in Highland Park, this two-story house sits near the east end of the street, one house from Lake Michigan. Architects Thomas E. Tallmadge and Vernon Watson designed it. The house combines Tudor and Prairie School ideas. Its steep gabled roof, leaded windows and half-timbering follow the Tudor tradition, while wide overhangs, windows reaching the cornice line and stucco walls reflect the Prairie School. The plan is a basically rectangular, axial layout, with a recessed central front door beneath a ribbon of six leaded casement windows and a half-timbered gable. A porch was added in 1924 and the house was remodeled in 1937, but the exterior is otherwise intact. A coach house remains on the property. The house is considered the largest and best Highland Park work by Tallmadge and Watson. Tallmadge was a widely known architect and writer whose office produced more than 250 buildings, and he coined the term Chicago School in a 1908 article.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Tallmadge and Watson","architectural_style":"Tudor-Prairie","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Rated in excellent condition, with the original residential use continuing.
