Bibliographic References
There is an entry for this house in The Guide to Shorewood's architecture on page 21; however, the address provided is incorrect in the book (its noted as 3701). While the photo and description is correct, the address is not. As the architect for the house at 3701 N. Lake Drive can be confirmed as Buemming and Guth, it is assumed that the reference to Thomas S. Van Alyea that is included in the write up is correct.
