Chicago’s Old Town neighborhood has many incredible historic homes, setting a high standard for new construction projects! This is a work in progress that incorporates some awesome old-school brick details.
We helped the architects from LeVaughn and Associates choose Endicott Brick “Ravenswood Ironspot” in a velour texture for the face of this 3-story single family home, adding a bit of contemporary flair to this classic design. Our sales team also supplied Sandkuhl fire box kits and herringbone brick panels for their rooftop, living room, and family room fireplaces (not pictured yet).
Beautiful custom arches surround all the openings on the front façade, requiring the talented masons at Duarte Stone Mason Inc. to order special shapes from the factory and create numerous mockups — practice makes perfect, and this step ensured everything flowed smoothly during construction (swipe to see pics)! This project isn’t the only one currently underway on this street of mostly brown, white, and red buildings, with many of the new additions also selecting black. Fortunately for these lucky homeowners, their home remains one-of-a-kind thanks to its unique brickwork entrance and choice of Endicott’s newest color offering. “Ravenswood Ironspot” debuted just two years ago, and this is our first project in the city to use it!
