1922 Comprehensive Plan

 "The question of the architecture of the individual building is not important, excepting that it must harmonize with others and contribute to the effects of serenity."


Page 13

The main principle of architecture has to do with the width and direction of the streets, the placing of public buildings, the selection of sites for parks and open spaces, and with the harmonizing and beautifying of them all. The question of the architecture of the individual building is not important, excepting that it must harmonize with others and contribute to the effects of serenity. For this reason, there are suggested a few possible developments for various properties, and in accord with the founding of our village by Ouilmette, the Plan Commission recommends rural French type architecture, which is quite similar to the English type.
