As seen in Figure 1, this classic Colonial Revival

home has a masonry brick exterior and is built on

a poured concrete foundation. Additional existing

condition pictures can be seen in Attachment 3.

The attached pictures illustrate some of the

dwelling’s original features such as the wood 6/1

double hung Other common Colonial Revival

features that can be seen on the hous,e including

its gabled roof. The roof shingles are the only

feature the architectural survey identifies as a

replacement. (Attachment 1).

Pages 70 & 71 of the 2020 Central East

architectural resource survey outline the style’s

history and characteristics. The section also explains why this style was a popular choice for new constructions

due to its simplicity and patriotic associations with early American 18th-century homes. Half of the Colonial

Revivals in the Central East area (including 1533 Sheridan Rd) were built between 1920 & 1940 (Attachment

2).

The house at 1533 Sheridan Road is identified as C – Contributing. This is likely due in part to the lack of

detailed historical information available for the house.

ORIGINAL ARCHITECT

After exhausting the City’s research resources, staff was unable to find the original architect for 1533 Sheridan

Rd.

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Staff is unable to find the original owner of 1533 Sheridan Rd. However, staff identified two previous tenants

who lived in the residence. Most recently, the property was owned by Robert & Margaret Altman. As seen in

their obituaries (Attachment 4), Robert, an air-conditioning company owner, and Margaret, an Osco Pharmacy

technician were married for 59 years. Robert passed away in 1990 while Margaret passed away in 2011. It is

unknown how long the couple lived there. The applicant has indicated the house has been vacant since

Margaret’s passing.

The other known past tenants were Myron and Marion Bernstein. Dr. Myron Bernstein was the founder of the

Glencoe Animal Hospital and was recognized in his field as having served as former executive director of the

American College of Veterinary Radiology and served on other veterinary medical boards (Attachment 5). In

an issue of the Highland Park Local Newspaper dated May 5th, 1951 (Attachment 6), the paper welcomed “Dr.

and Mrs. Myron Bernstein of 1533 Sheridan Road” as new Highland Parkers.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Based on the available information, Staff recommends the Commission review the property at 1533 Sheridan

Road with regard to Criteria #4 due to the popular Colonial Revival architectural style that’s seen throughout

the area. Colonial Revival style homes are a constant in the community - this can be confirmed by the recorded

number of Colonial Revival homes in the Central East area referenced earlier from Attachment 2. If the

Commission feels that more historic research may help in a determination of architectural or historical

significance for this house, staff recommends a continuation to the next HPC agenda.

Alternatively, if the Commission feels the information provided above is sufficient, a determination can be

made on what, if any, landmark criteria in Chapter 24 are satisfied by the subject property.

(2) two or three of the landmark standards, and has sufficient integrity of location, design, materials, and workmanship to make it worthy of preservation or rehabilitation, then the commission shall impose a 180-day demolition delay period on such structure, commencing on the Application Completion date;

(3) one or none of the landmark standards, or does not have sufficient integrity of location, design, materials, or workmanship to make it worthy of preservation or rehabilitation, then the City shall proceed immediately to process the application pursuant to all other applicable provisions of this Code.

Of these, 97 (28 percent) are ranked locally significant; 229 (66 percent) are ranked contributing to the character of a potential local historic district; and 102 (29 percent) are ranked non-contributing to a potential local historic district. Some of those that are ranked non-contributing are less than fifty years old and might be considered contributing to a historic district if they have special significance.

Sixteen (16) buildings are considered potentially eligible for individual listing in the National Register. If a National Register historic district were created, 229 (66 percent) would be contributing and 102 (29 percent) non-contributing. A National Register district generally does not include anything less than 50 years old.

Colonial Revival

The Colonial Revival style dates from the 1876 centennial celebration until the mid- 1950s. Shepherded in by a wave of patriotism, nostalgia and by incidents such as the 1963 demolition of the celebrated John Hancock House, which shocked New England and the rest of the country,70 it became the most popular historical revival style throughout the country until after World War II. Many people chose Colonial Revival architecture because of its basic simplicity and its patriotic associations with early American 18th-century homes. Whether derived from stately red brick Georgian examples or more modest clapboard buildings, most of these buildings are symmetrical and rectangular in plan; some have wings attached to the side. Detailing is derived from classical sources, partly due to the influence of classicism that dominated the prominent exhibition buildings at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. Many front facades have classical -- temple-like -- entrances with projecting porticos topped by a pediment. Paneled doors flanked by sidelights and topped by rectangular transoms or fanlights are common, as are multi-pane double-hung windows with shutters. The variety for the sake of variety typical of the Queen Anne style was losing its attraction, and a more literal interpretation of historical styles began to take the place of the more romantic traditional styles of the 19th century. Streetscapes began to have a sedate air as blocks of quiet symmetrical facades lined suburban streets. Many Ranch houses built in the 1950s have Colonial Revival details. There is a revival of the traditionalism exhibited in the Colonial Revival style even in the 1990s with some “Neo-Colonial” houses being built.

Colonial Revival is by far the most popular style, with 80 examples in the survey areas. Of these, 70 are located within the Central East survey area and 10 within the Central Avenue/Deerfield Road survey area.

Highland Park Central East and Central Avenue/Deerfield Road Survey Update 71

The earliest Colonial Revival house dates from about 1895, with the most recent being from the 1970s. Half of these were built from the 1920s through the 1940s when the North Shore enjoyed its greatest population growth. The following 15 buildings in the Central East survey area were ranked locally significant: 160 Central Avenue; 1540 Hawthorne Lane; 1707 and 1729 Lake Avenue; 67, 133, and 180 Laurel Avenue; 1615 and 1643 Linden Avenue; 426 Ravine Drive; 1375, 1391 and 1523 Sheridan Road; 1380 and 1442 Waverly Road.

Locally prominent architect Robert Seyfarth designed the Churchill House at 1375 Sheridan Road in 1919. Basically rectangular, the facade is organized into a main, symmetrical section with five bays, with a side section of the same height. The house is wood shingle and has multi-light wood double-hung windows throughout. A notable feature is the classical broken pedimented front entry with engaged pilasters. Another characteristic Colonial Revival house is the 1924 brick house with slate roof at 1643 Linden Avenue. This two and ½ story house has a gabled front entry portico with Doric columns. The entry door has a fanlight and multi-light sidelights.

There are also gable-roofed dormers in the front, and fanlight attic windows in the side gables. As is typical of the Colonial Revival style, windows are wood, double hung, six over one lights (an upper sash divided into six panes of glass and a lower sash with a single large pane).

One of the Colonial Revival houses in the Central Avenue/Deerfield Road Survey Area, at 1660 Second Street, is ranked locally significant. Built c.1920, it is basically symmetrical with a central front entry porch with brick piers and wood entablature. There is a projecting central bay on the second floor with engaged pilasters.
