Mr. Bourgeois’ house-studio on the lake shore property as seen from Sheridan Road, Wilmette, Illinois. The building is about 40 feet above the water and from the rear affords a commanding view over Lake Michigan. The openings shown on the roof walls and window balustrades are to have beautifully modeled panels when completed.
