Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Hugh M. Garvey House, also known as the Garvey-Ferry House, is a historic house located at 8 Fair Oaks Drive in Leland Grove, Illinois.[1]

Architecture

The International Style and Miesan style house was built from 1956 to 1959.[1] Prominent Quincy-based architect John Benya designed the house in 1956.[1][2] It was completed in 1959.[1] Benya designed hundreds of houses and commercial buildings throughout his life. He later became known for his major projects in Quincy, including its airport terminal.[1]

The two-story house has a glass-paneled curtain wall exterior with an aluminum frame. Steel and concrete elements provide structural support, and concrete and brick dividers split each side of the house in half visually.[1] Benya's use of large, textured bricks in the International Style was uncommon.[1][2]

Charles Aguar designed the original landscape plan, which included honeysuckle ground cover and a circular path.[1] Due to the widening of Chatham Road in the 1970s, a large section of the landscape had to be removed.[1] The house is surrounded by deciduous woodland on an approximately one acre lot.[1]

History

The Hugh M. Garvey House was the first house built in the International style in the Springfield area and one of the area's first modern-styled homes.[1] It led to a wave of popularity for the style in Springfield during the 1960s.[1]

The house was built for clients Hugh and Jane Garvey and their eight children.[1] Garvey was the owner of Springfield's Templegate Press, which published general literature and religious literature.[1] The Garvey family lived in the house for over 40 years.[1]

Springfield architect Bruce Ferry and his wife Lorraine bought the house after Hugh Garvey's death in 2003.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 10, 2009.[3][2]
