Louis B. Kuppenheimer Jr. House

The Louis B. Kuppenheimer Jr. House is a historic house at 789 Burr Avenue in Winnetka, Illinois. The house was built in 1937-38 for Louis B. Kuppenheimer Jr. and his family; Kuppenheimer had inherited a large manor house from his father, who had been the president of a clothing company, but wished to move to a smaller home. Architect David Adler, a prominent architect best known for designing country houses, designed the house in the French Renaissance Revival style. The house's design includes a recessed arched entrance, French doors along the south and west sides, a service wing with a mansard roof, a porch wing, and a dentillated cornice. While the house is smaller than most of Adler's works, it still exhibits the typical themes of his designs, such as eclecticism, symmetry, and attention to detail.[2]
