Zook House

The architect of this Colonial Revival Cottage was Harold Zook. Mr . Zook was the architect for the St. Charles Municipal Building, listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and a Locally Designated Landmark. Harold Zook was a well-known and highly respected architect in Chicago. Mrs. Frank King originally owned the home.

The structure has the chevron design element in the front stoop, a trademark of Zook's work. The home has bronze thresholds, cooper flashing/valleys, 10" wide clapboard siding, the body is limestone, the original shutters with hardware are still in place and the original curved garage doors are still in place.

The house has a fairytale cottage appearance. It has been maintained very well, both inside and out. Although there have been a few minor alterations to the home over the years, the current owner has gone to great lengths to make those alterations appropriate.
