Neighboring Gordon-Van Tine Blairs

In Arlington Heights, there are three Blairs from Gordon-Van Tine within a short distance of each other.

1021 S. Haddow, Arlington Heights





511 E. Central, Arlington Heights



1113 S. Pine, Arlington Heights



Based on the close proximity, these houses were likely built by the same person.

The Blair is very similar to the Roselle model from Harris Brothers or the Axis model from the Home Builders Catalog, with one noticeable difference. The Blair has an extended dining room on the right side. The lines of the hip roof are broken by the bay projection over the dining room.

Dining room of the house on Pine.



Dining room of the house on Haddow.








All three were built around 1930-1931 before the lowest point of the Great Depression.

That house on Central is advertised as "Priced to Sell" - More like "Priced to GIVE AWAY!" THAT'S AMAZING! Somebody did just walk away with it for sure. What an amazing find!
