Property of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Dempsey, Glencoe, Illinois | architect David Searcy Barrow

The striking new home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Dempsey, in Glencoe, twenty miles north of Chicago, overlooks the spacious, wooded grounds of the Skokie Country Club. This view of the redwood and Tennessee Crab Orchard exterior is taken from the south. In the southwest corner is the living room; in the southeast corner, the master bedroom. On the north side of the ground floor are the family room, kitchen and service area. The children’s bedrooms and the maid’s room are on the second floor. David Searcy Barrow was the designer and architect. He also designed the heating system, which was installed by V. A. Smith Company, Chicago.
