Conceived of as an upscale residential neighborhood in an English Park setting. The site plan was laid out by architect Philip Maher. ***It featured curving streets with expansive lawns lined with stately old oak trees and new elm trees. Each lot had a 50' setback. The park-like setting for substantial homes was enhanced by ornamental street lamps, stone entrance lamp posts and underground utilities. *** Ralph Stoetzel and other important architects designed homes in Indian Hill Estate. They included Prairie School architects Barry Byrne and Walter Burley Griffin as well as Mayo & Mayo, Spencer S. Beman and Rapp & Rapp. George Fred Keck designed 26 residences, including three for the Bills Brothers. Keck, who became famous for his solar houses, designed almost all of the houses in Indian Hill Estates in traditional styles, primarily Tudor. The final house in the subdivision, however, was Keck & Keck's 1936 International Style Herbert Bruning House. No further building activity took place in Indian Hill Estates from then until after World War II. *** Is there a new home in Wilmette, or nearby you admire and would build your own, we can provide contact info for most builders and architects, feel free to inquire.

R
Single-Family Detached Residence District
The R District is established to protect, promote, and maintain the development of single-family detached housing and limited public and institutional uses that are compatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood. The development standards and range of allowable uses for this district are designed to maintain a suitable environment for family living at the low density of development characteristic of the current pattern of development in the district, which consists of large lots with abundant open space. The R District includes one sub-district which allows the same uses but provides bulk provisions that reflect the specific attributes of the development pattern that results in lot width and lot area that are less than that of the R District but still larger than that typically found in any R1 sub-district.
