555 Hill Terrace #207 Winnetka, IL 60093

Own a part of living history! In 1928 "The Chimneys" was the pet project of Winnetka resident Roland D. Whitman. He was enamored with English architecture and antiques. He hired architect Howard Bowen, a Wilmette resident, to design "The Chimneys." Bowen made an inspirational journey to England before beginning the project. The result is one of the North Shore's best courtyard apartments, a building that exemplifies the style that has earned the name "Winnetka Tudor." The whimsy, variety and charm associated with the Tudor style are all here. Brick, stone and half-timbering are used to delineate an array of gables, roofs and bays. Each entryway from the private courtyard is different, suggesting a series of individual buildings. Topping the undulating roofline are a dozen chimneys. The apartments were designed with fireplaces, porches, views of the beautifully landscaped court, and architectural details throughout.
