Description: This Italianate Style brick home on N. Ellsworth Street, Naperville was built in 1870 for William Hillegas, an early hardware merchant. The home was later purchased by North Central College English professor, founder and editor of the Naperville SUN newspaper, Harold E. White. Professor White redesigned the entry of the home using classical columns salvaged from the Judge Goodwin home. This house was parged with a thin layer of mortar coating designed to protect the underlying masonry. Of the few remaining examples of this technique in Naperville, only one house was completed with black beading, the Martin Mitchell Mansion at Naper Settlement.
