Notes

a. Chicago city directories list the Hyland and Green partnership from 1910 to 1913. In the latter year, the directory specifies Paul V. Hyland and Herbert H. Green as the members of the Hyland and Green partnership. Green was listed as a 1906 winner of a Chicago Architectural Club scholarship. He was identified in the 1910 Census as an architect and a resident of Chicago, born in Illinois circa 1879, married to Mary.[3][4] Hyland and Green were listed separately beginning in 1914.

b. The building permit for the First National Bank Building estimates the construction cost at $230,000, listing "Hyland and Green, Chicago, Ill." as the architects and Selden-Breck Construction Co. of Saint Louis as the contractor.[5]

c. This project was immediately adjacent (to the east) of the First National Bank Building. The building permit describes the work as "Remodel or change front." The estimated cost as $12,500 and time for construction was "2 to 3 months."[6]

d. The building permit applications describe the summer house as "brick & terra cotta" costing an estimated $700. The "Brick & Iron Fence" was to be installed "where wood fence now stands" at a cost of $1,000.[7]
