Campbell, Albert, House
Why it's listed
Set on a moderately wooded corner lot at Marshman and Judson in Highland Park's Ravinia area, this low-slung bungalow was probably built shortly after 1900. Its style is described as turn-of-the-century California Arts and Crafts. Three low-pitched gables of differing heights face north, and the narrow clapboard siding and trim are painted white. The roof is asphalt made to resemble wood shingles. Etched and colored leaded glass windows are visible beyond a simple iron gate, near a circular planting that was formerly a concrete fish pond. The house grew over time: a major western addition in November 1927 changed the entry and the use of major rooms, and further work in the 1930s covered bathrooms, grounds and garages. The kitchen was remodeled and a porch enclosed in the 1960s. It remains a single-family home in excellent condition. Its stained and etched glass led to its description as one of the finest bungalows in Ravinia, and it may have been the home of artist and architect Lawrence Buck, though that is undocumented.
Significance in brief: The inventory sheet describes the house as one of the finest bungalows in Ravinia because of its stained glass and etched glass windows and their configurations. It also notes that the house may have been the home of local artist and architect Lawrence Buck, though this is undocumented.

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.
