In the 1850s, the founders of Northwestern University created the City of Evanston along Chicago’s northern lakefront. Evanston impresses with a mix of single-family home architecture from styles like Queen Anne, Italianate, Victorian Gothic, Neoclassical and Tudor to Prairie and even Modern. Home to Scott Simpson and his family, this historic suburb has lead us to everything from restoring mock Tudor manors to creating modern farmhouses. We have enjoyed working on a variety of design build Evanston projects, including this favorite Modern Farmhouse Hospitality Home in Evanston.
