The Gross Point Village Hall, located at 609 Ridge Road in Wilmette, Illinois, was the village hall of the defunct village of Gross Point, Illinois. The village of Gross Point, named for a French description of a turn in nearby Lake Michigan's shoreline, was settled from the 1830s onward and incorporated in 1874. In 1896, Gross Point built a village hall to both house its government and serve as a community center. The two-story brick building has a Victorian design with two projecting front entrances, which originally led to the fire department and the village offices respectively. The small village relied heavily on alcohol taxes to fund its government, and had many taverns as a result; protests from prohibitionists in nearby Evanston, combined with opposition to new taxes to fund a sewer system, led to the village voting to dissolve itself in 1919. The village hall was sold to a private resident to pay back debts from the sewer system.The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 1991. It is now home to the Wilmette Historical Museum.

The Buildings at 2517, 2519, and 2523 Central Street are three related apartment buildings at 2517, 2519, and 2523 Central Street in Evanston, Illinois. The three two-flats were built as part of one development project in 1927. Architect Arthur Jacobs designed all three buildings using a consistent theme, so that the three buildings would have different designs but appear as parts of a complex. Common features to each building include a light-colored brick exterior, a projecting front facade, stone trim, and green tile roofs. All three buildings have a vertical emphasis, which is created by either buttresses or piers. Each building has an ornate roof line; 2517 has a parapet crested by pinnacles, 2519 has brick piers capped by urns which extend above the roof, and 2523 has a parapet with limestone coping and pinnacles.The buildings were added individually to the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 1984.

The Kenilworth Assembly Hall is a historic clubhouse located at 410 Kenilworth Avenue in Kenilworth, Illinois. The clubhouse was built in 1907 as a social club for the wealthy Chicago suburb. Resident and noted Prairie School architect George W. Maher designed the building. His design represents a transitional stage in his work; it was his last building to feature a significant horizontal emphasis, and it includes several early hints at style elements he later became known for. The windows are arranged in groups of three, which was typical of Maher's later works, and a stem-and-square motif used in several external elements evokes the signature thistle patterns he introduced the next year. The horizontal elements, which include the broad eaves and wall paneling, exhibit Maher's difficulties with the horizontal form of the Prairie School and were called "unsatisfactory" by architectural historian Carl W. Condit.The clubhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1979.The Kenilworth Club donated the Kenilworth Assembly Hall to the Kenilworth Park District on August 1, 2016.
