This attractive, mixed-use Tudor Revival building is likely one of the oldest in this section of the Hubbard Woods business district. We don’t know the exact date of construction, but we do know it was built sometime in the early 1900s.

The first known business to occupy the retail space was Darville & Aston Grocers, who rented the space in 1912. In 1921, an addition was built onto the back of the building, resulting in the large multi-use building that exists today.

In the late 1920s and 1930s, the enlarged building took on a new purpose – housing several construction-related businesses. As a result, the building was often referred to as the “Builder’s Building of Winnetka." It has been home to a wider variety of business types in more recent decades.

Thanks to the many businesses that have utilized and preserved this building, it still stands and has been identified by the state as potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
