Kodak Park was and is one of the most
significant industrial hubs of our region.
The expansion of Kodak’s operations
during the 1910s through 1930s fueled
residential development adjacent to the park
including the Maplewood and Koda-Vista
neighborhoods. The modest homes lining
Winchester and Merrill Streets are tucked
between the northern border of Kodak Park
and expansive grounds of Holy Sepulchre
Cemetery, and are within walking distance
of many of the current and former factory
buildings of the park. The distinctive grouping
of Craftsman style bungalows built by George
Hartman around 1916 at the eastern end of
Winchester Street stand apart, this home
chief among them.
The textbook bungalow exterior impresses
with a full width, period enclosed, front porch
beneath a broad second story dormer,
deep roof eaves with shaped rafter tails and
brackets, and wood siding atop a rusticated
concrete block foundation. Traversing the
broad side entry stoop to the front porch, the
wood and glass paneled front door beckons
your entry. The foyer beyond sets the stage
with oak floors and oversized Craftsman style
moldings unmarred by paint. The woodwork,
including a colonnade framing the staircase
to the second floor, continues throughout
the house. Passing through a set of pocket
doors, the living room is filled with light from
the many original wood windows and is
anchored by a broad brick wood-burning
fireplace with a unique over-mantel niche and
Prairie style built-in bookcases to either side.
A large archway to the rear frames the dining
room with its broad window bay and built-in
seat. The kitchen has been recently outfitted
with oak cabinetry and new counter-tops,
and has access to the basement and side
entry door.
The second floor contains three bedrooms
arranged around a central hall with a built-
in linen closet, and a recently remodeled
shared bathroom. Each bedroom beyond
the handsome five panel oak doors features
more stained woodwork, has ample closet
space, and is lit by the various original
windows from the whimsical diamond shaped
sash in the gables to the broad dormer over
the front porch. The detached one-and-
one-half bay garage at the back of the deep
backyard has room for a workshop as well as
a vehicle.
This 1,344 square foot cozy abode exudes
charm and typifies the best qualities of
Craftsman era design. With its recently
painted exterior, brand new kitchen,
renovated bathroom, and included
appliances, all that is left to do is move in.
