225 S. Ashland

This house was built in 1892 and was first owned by Ayers and Mary Lundy, who became among the village's most prominent citizens. Lundy was an engineer for Edison General Electric Company. In 1891, he joined with Fredrick Sargent, an associate of Thomas Edison and a Village resident, to found the firm Sargent and Lundy, which is one of the largest consulting engineering firm in the world. Note the unusual beveled glass parlor transom and the geometrically-designed windows of the front door.
