S.204.7 – Thomas E. Sullivan Residence, 336 Gregory Street, Wilmette, Illinois

 

LINK TO DISCUSSION OF AMERICAN SYSTEM-BUILT HOMES

 

Photographed on May 10, 2012. 

 

This structure has been recently added to Prof. Storrer’s catalog of works.  I will quote his discussion from his website:

 

This two-story ASBH house is given the catalog number S.204.7 and is located next to S.203.2. The original determination back in 1989 was that it was a Van Bergen design. Later information determined that it was one of two houses, with its single-story neighbor, advertised in the Chicago Tribune as Wright-designed. It turned out the mis-identification could be traced to the fact that the house had an addition of a formal dining room by Van Bergen.

 

I stumbled upon this home while photographing its neighbor, and on a lark I took a quick photo – not knowing that Prof. Storrer now identifies it as a Wright-designed ASBH home.  The house is located on the corner of Gregory Street and Dupee Place.

 

The addition of works to the catalog can be controversial.  Erring on the side of completeness, I will include such structures as I encounter them, and identify the nature of the discovery and any associated controversy.
