William Webster Residence - ca. 1912
5730 N. Sheridan Road, Chicago, Illinois
Demolished in 1960

from The Western Architect - 1915

          A formal and refined residence, this house, as have most others that had lined North Sheridan Road in Chicago in its more elegant past, was destroyed to make way for that monotonous canyon of lake front high-rises that now exist.
          As in the Cluever and White Residences, Van Bergen specified the use of stucco on "Natco Tile", a hollow clay tile for the outside walls.
          (There is a photograph of this building shortly before it was torn down in Carl Condit's book,
The Chicago School of Architecture.)
