The architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a fine example of a Foursquare with Arts and Crafts (Craftsman) ornamentation and excellent integrity. It reflects Craftsman ideas of honest materials and geometric design, plus an efficient, servantless floor plan. It is described as one of the finest Foursquares in Maywood.","narrative":"This 2-1/2 story frame house at 515 North 3rd Avenue in Maywood, Illinois, was built in 1907 as a Foursquare. It rests on a limestone foundation, is clad in narrow clapboards, and has a flared hip roof, two dormers, and a broad front porch with square piers. Inside, oak trim and floors, a paneled dining room ceiling, leaded glass, and a built-in china cabinet show simple, geometric Arts and Crafts detailing. The floor plan lets the homemaker move between kitchen and front door without crossing the living room, and a single central stair serves both. A two-car frame garage at the rear likely dates from the same time. The house was listed for its architecture. It is a typical Foursquare in form, with a raised basement, pyramidal roof, and open plan, yet it also shows Craftsman influence in its honest use of materials and clean lines. Almost no alterations since construction give it excellent integrity, making it one of the finest Foursquares in Maywood.","period_of_significance":"1907","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements: Foursquare (with Arts and Crafts/Craftsman detailing)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition with almost no alterations since 1907; still used as a single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:35.21442-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/7/8908/28890807/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/92000048.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92000048/5594e5aca3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92000048/5594e5aca3-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Thshriver","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gibbs,_William_and_Caroline_House_1.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:Gibbs,_William_and_Caroline_House_1.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28890807","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_and_Caroline_Gibbs_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q104849275"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/cook-county/gibbs-william-and-caroline-house-92000048/"}
