Regarding Julius W. Hegeler I Home. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
Named after its original owner, the Julius W. Hegeler I Home is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C as the work of master architects Irving Kane Pond and Allen Bartlit Pond of the Chicago-based architecture firm Pond & Pond. Having architectural significance in the state of Illinois, the building's period of significance is restrained to the year of its construction, 1904. As one of approximately thirty-six extant Pond & Pond buildings in the state, The Julius W. Hegeler I Home stands out not only as an important example of the work of these early twentieth-century masters, but also as an excellent example of the Arts and Crafts style of architecture for which the Pond brothers were nationally known.
