Granville-Mott House

The Granville-Mott House is a historic house at 80 Laurel Avenue in Highland Park, Illinois. Built circa 1910, the house was designed by prominent Chicago architectural firm Tallmadge & Watson. The firm designed two houses and a church's chancel in Highland Park; the Granville-Mott House is the largest of these works. The house has a Tudor Revival design with Prairie School details. Its gable roof and extensive half-timbering are typical Tudor elements, while its casement windows and overhanging eaves are inspired by the Prairie School.[2][3]
