1642 W. Jarvis
Like many of the homes in the Birchwood Beach area, this home's design depicts an amalgamation of the Tudor Revival and Arts and Crafts styles, both popular at the beginning of the twentieth-century. The original owner of this home was George Beardsley of the Chicago-based Beardsley Chandelier Company, who lived here from 1911 to 1917.
The second family to own the home were the Birchards, whose descendants resided there from 1917 to 1975. During those years the layout of the house remained unchanged, but unfortunately, the home's beautiful details did suffered from neglect.
