Title
Devonshire Manor Formerly Devonshire Golf Club: The Last Word in Subdivision Development Booklet, circa 1928
Description
This Krenn & Dato promotional booklet focuses on the Devonshire Manor subdivision. As seen on the map included in the booklet, Devonshire Manor was bound by Church St. to the West, Keeler Avenue to the North, Dempster Street to the East and Niles Center Road to the South and was only 1 and 1/2 blocks from the Dempster Street L Terminal. The area's possible prosperity is discussed by comparing it to two areas in Chicago that developed after L terminals were placed in the areas; these areas were the Wilson Avenue and Howard Street districts. The advantages of purchasing property in the Devonshire area were presented. These included: the proximity to educational and recreational features such as schools, parks and golf clubs; improvements to the area such as gas, water, sewers, electricity and sidewalks; and the available means of transportation. There is mention of the park (Devonshire Park) to be developed at the center of the subdivision. Krenn & Dato's payment plan is discussed, as are Protective Restrictions in the subdivision; these restrictions focus on how and what can be built in the subdivision. Also included are directions to Devonshire Manor by L and by auto.
