Lynch, Timothy J., House
Why it's listed
This 1927 Chicago bungalow at 416 North 4th Avenue in Maywood, Illinois, sits on a corner lot in the original Maywood Company section of the village, near Queen Anne and Prairie houses. It is a long, narrow building of yellow face brick, 1-1/2 stories over a raised basement, with a green tile gable roof, broad overhangs and a rounded bay. Inside, casement windows hold intricate geometric stained glass, and dark wood trim and paneled dining room wainscoting set the tone. The living room has egg-and-dart ceiling moldings and a brick and tile fireplace in an inglenook with built-in benches. Although typical of the thousands of bungalows built in the 1920s, this one is larger, on a more prominent lot, and more richly detailed. Its simplified, geometric design reflects Prairie and Craftsman influences. The house was listed for architectural significance as the finest and best preserved example of its type in Maywood. The floor plan and detailing remain original.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues it is the finest and best preserved Chicago bungalow in Maywood under Criterion C. It is larger and more richly detailed than typical bungalows, with stained glass, fine woodwork and an inglenook fireplace. It also shows Prairie and Craftsman design influences and retains excellent integrity.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
