Wanted to point out an overgrown Zook-designed house in Des Plaines, on the corner of Margret St. and Walnut Ave. It's still 'in the family', although looks like it needs some work.

The one that's totally hidden at the NE corner in streetview?

Yep, that's it. The FC main page most recent article mentions a Zook-designed gas station also in Des Plaines but has no address (doubtful it's still extant in any case).

Just to update:
The Zook-designed service station was at 2380 River Road in Des Plaines (NW corner of Touhy and River). It apparently survived into the '70s and was known as Zook's Mobil.
