It was remodeled in the Colonial Revival style in 1924 for Edwin Brach, a
partner in the famed Chicago candy company. The architect was Robert Seyfarth.
The three-acre lakeside parcel the house sat on was purchased in 1990 for
a reported $12 million by George Garrick.
In demolishing the 6,700-square-foot residence, Garrick cited the high
cost of repairs. An offer to move the house to another location was
rejected due to the owner's time constraints. It was not a designated
local landmark. (Winnetka's landmarks ordinance requires owner consent.)
