Property of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Simpson | Winnetka, Illinois | Architect Donald Simpson

The Donald Simpsons frankly admit that most of the ideas for their charming white-painted brick house came from their favorite magazine. The result is a house reminiscent of the best tradition, to which has been added the most up- to-the-minute planning for modern living.

Clean-cut lines emphasize the simple, good proportions of the exterior; grey shutters and a black asphalt roof bring the well selected ground planting and towering background foliage into focus. Radiant heat makes floors comfortable for two active youngsters. The house is larger than it first appears; there is a full-sized dining room and bedroom suite on the first floor while upstairs we find two more bedrooms with their own bath. The lower room is used for overnight guests and arranged to insure them complete privacy and quiet.
