Celebrated architect and onetime Wheaton-area resident Jarvis Hunt (1863-1941) designed this federal-style, clapboard-and-shingle home at 525 W. Lincoln St. in Wheaton. Built on the village’s north side around 1910, the home is believed to originally have been a summer house for members of the Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton, the nation’s oldest 18-hole golf course. Owned from the 1960s to the 1980s by the late DuPage County Board member Richard Carlson, the three-story home has a side gable roof, shed dormer with Palladian windows, framed double entry with beveled lights, a glazed porch and a circular portico with Ionic columns and balustrade. Outside are a coach house and a brick half-circle driveway.
