Mads C. Larson House

The Mads C. Larson House is a historic house at 318 S. 1st Avenue in Maywood, Illinois. The house was built in 1909 by Mads C. Larson on land previously owned by the Maywood Company, the development company which planned the village. The Arts and Crafts-designed bungalow also includes many elements of the Prairie School style. Its design has an emphasis on geometry and nature, featuring rectangular piers and pilasters with decorative banding, board-and-batten siding, a row of leaded casement windows, and a glazed sun porch. The interior continues the themes of the design with posts matching the exterior piers, wooden moldings, mullions with the same pattern as the leaded windows, and built-in cabinets.[2]
