Its grounds are described as a particularly fine example of Jens Jensen's naturalistic Prairie Style landscape design, and in restored condition as his finest residential work among those he designed for Highland Park.","narrative":"Built in 1930 on a three-acre site beside a ravine in Highland Park, this symmetrical Georgian house is rectangular with wings to the north and south. It has a steep slate hipped roof, natural red brick walls with grey and white wood trim, a fanlight over the front door, a central pediment, dentils, shutters and a Palladian window at the rear. The architects are given as Arthur Heun and Wolcott and Work. The landscape was designed by Jens Jensen and reflects the naturalistic Prairie Style associated with Jensen, Ossian Simonds and William W.R. French. Features include native plantings such as hawthorns, maples and white trillium, curving fieldstone paths, terraced beds, woodland trails leading to a clearing, and a meadow east of the house. The house retains its interior and exterior detailing, and the garden has been restored using Jensen's original plans. It was listed as an excellent Georgian Revival house and as Jensen's finest residential work in Highland Park.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"House: Arthur Heun and Wolcott and Work; Landscape: Jens Jensen","architectural_style":"House: Georgian (Georgian Revival); Landscape: Prairie Style","criteria":[],"status_note":"Overall condition listed as excellent; house described as unaltered, with the landscape being restored to Jensen's original plans.
