silver door knobs | howard van doren shaw home

These silver gems were made for a restoration project on a Howard Van Doren Shaw home in Lake Forest, Illinois.  Our work on these projects is critical to the overall scope of both a quality and accurate restoration.  Shaw was one of the great true American architects and completed many homes in both Chicago and Chicago’s north shore.  Shaw also did the original Goodman Theatre (now the new modern wing of the Chicago Art Meuseum).
