McCormick House: 1952 – 1959

The McCormick House (1952) was a prototype for prefab housing proposed for the western Chicagoland area. The single-family house is composed of two of the proposed row houses arranged to create separate wings, one for the parents and one for the children. McCormick attempted to sell and promote the modular homes, but they were not met with enough buyers for construction. The house was later lived in by families of Arthur and Marilyn Sladek, Ray and Mary Ann Fick, and then purchased by the Elmhurst Art Museum for a new arts complex.
