| Additional Information: | Matteson and Landstrom was a real estate firm in Chicago that purchased a portion of the undeveloped land in the Scofield Addition which they platted into into 110 small lots. By the end of 1920, 79 houses were completed and all 84 were finished within a few years. Through the 1920s a number of Matteson and Landstrom houses were unsold and were rented by the developer; others were held by absentee owners. |
