Mr. Frank Von Geyso House #1 - 1924
456 Woodland Ave. - Highland Park, Illinois

          This is a classic one story "prairie" bungalow type structure with cypress trim and a low gabled roof.   Sited on a curved street and next door to the second house commissioned by Mr. Von Geyso at 450 Woodland (to the right  - as seen from the street) the houses are very different.  This house at 450 represents Van Bergen's progressive and sophisticated designs of the 1930's, while this house at 456 is of an earlier, more basic and more natural style.
