The town grew quickly due to the suburban service allowing for easy transit to Chicago. In the 1880s to the early 1900s the Homewood Brick Company manufactured all of the bricks used to build early Homewood homes. 18243 was built with these local bricks stamped simply "Homewood".

Inside, three bedrooms, two baths, a huge kitchen and adjacent dining room, full basement and upstairs roomy master bedroom and bath provide all the space you will need without feeling too big.
