1004 Westmoor

This lovely Tudor Revival home was designed by Chicago-based architect Monroe R. Sandel in 1926 for attorney George A. Mason Jr. and his wife Louise. Mason was born in Chicago in 1902. After passing the bar exam, he went into business with his father, establishing the firm Mason and Mason at 69 West Washington in the city.

The house he commissioned at 1004 Westmoor has been identified as potentially eligible for the National Register of historic places, perhaps because of its lovely Tudor Revival design elements.

Tudor Revival is one of the most popular styles in Winnetka. Many elements of this house are representative of the style, including the steeply pitched dormers over the windows, the brick chimney, and the signature stucco and half-timber siding.

The entrance to this house was originally on Locust on the right side, and the original address was 740 Locust. This was changed in the 1940s when the house was renovated and the driveway moved to connect to Westmoor.

Today, this remains one of the many Tudor Revival designs that give Winnetka its unique, historic character.
