Isadore Shank

The late Isadore Shank's family have put together a website to honor him. http://web.mac.com/firbeams/iWeb/Site/Home.html Below is a pic of one of his houses and the wonderful DeBaulieve Building on Delmar.

Isadore Shank Home

Here is another Isadore Shank home on the market in Frontenac at 10615 Spoede Oaks Lane.  It is listed for $629,000...down from the original asking price of $849,000. This house just takes the right buyer to do some freshening and reinterpretation of the spirit of the design. It is on a very private, one-acre lot.

Isadore Shank- architect
