This landmarked craftsman style bungalow features a low-pitched jerkinhead (clipped) gable roof with wide eaves, dark tapestry brick, and three over, double hung windows.

The home was purchased by Juanita and Ralph Shaw from Gordon and Dorothy Bunge in 1953. The previous owner, Gordon Bunge, worked as an attorney for his uncle, Gustav Bunge of the Tivoli Theater.

The home itself is located in Block 2 of the Bunge subdivision, and additional research from the applicant shows that several other homes in the area were owned by members of the Bunge family in the 1930s.

For more information, see the Village of Downers Grove Landmarking Resolution for this house.
