Mr. and Mrs. James L. Whitehouse Residence and Garage - 1937
660 De Tamble - Highland Park, Illinois

          A simple refined house - the plan is a variation of the earlier "square" plan broadened into a rectangle and turned sideways.  Also, the stair/entry core has evolved and divides the house in two halves - a transit area that divides the living and dining rooms.
The outstanding aesthetic characteristic of this design is the symmetrical front facade with the arched entry at its center.
          There are some alterations; the veranda (originally open) is now enclosed, the low brick planters on either side of the front stairs have been removed and the garage has had a second story added. 
          Blueprints exist and are dated April 23, 1937.
