A Tudor Revival Style home on Green Bay Road is set to receive Landmark designation from the Highland Park Historic Preservation Commission at its meeting on Nov. 9. The house, designed in the Cottage subtype of this style, is poised to be recognized for its historic and architectural significance.
"A home on Green Bay Road designed in the Cottage subtype of the Tudor Revival Style is expected to receive Landmark designation from the Highland Park Historic Preservation Commission at its Nov. 9 meeting," announced the commission.
Homeowners Ashley and Michael Goldner sought out landmark status for their residence at 1175 Green Bay Road. The property's historical status had been flagged as significant during the Bob-O-Linke Survey in 2006, as detailed by the Historic Preservation Commission Landmark Designation staff memorandum attached to the Nov. 9 meeting agenda.
According to records, a preliminary landmark designation was adopted by the Historic Preservation Commission at its Oct. 12 meeting. The staff were then instructed to draft findings of fact suggesting a landmark designation for the house on Green Bay Road.
Built in 1924 by R.C. Canterbury, who originally owned it, many details about its architect remain unknown. The commission’s memorandum highlighted distinctive architectural features such as a one-and-a-half story facade composed of brick with stone accents and cedar shingles on dormers. The house also features rounded front porch arches, steeply pitched curved roof peaks, and a single-car garage attached to its rear.
