The Hugh M. Garvey House, also known as the Garvey-Ferry House, is a historic house located at 8 Fair Oaks Drive in Leland Grove, Illinois. [2]
The International Style and Miesan style house was built from 1956 to 1959. [2] Prominent Quincy-based architect John Benya designed the house in 1956. [2] [3] It was completed in 1959. [2] Benya designed hundreds of houses and commercial buildings throughout his life. He later became known for his major projects in Quincy, including its airport terminal. [2]
The two-story house has a glass-paneled curtain wall exterior with an aluminum frame. Steel and concrete elements provide structural support, and concrete and brick dividers split each side of the house in half visually. [2] Benya's use of large, textured bricks in the International Style was uncommon. [2] [3]
Charles Aguar designed the original landscape plan, which included honeysuckle ground cover and a circular path. [2] Due to the widening of Chatham Road in the 1970s, a large section of the landscape had to be removed. [2] The house is surrounded by deciduous woodland on an approximately one acre lot. [2]
The Hugh M. Garvey House was the first house built in the International style in the Springfield area and one of the area's first modern-styled homes. [2] It led to a wave of popularity for the style in Springfield during the 1960s. [2]
The house was built for clients Hugh and Jane Garvey and their eight children. [2] Garvey was the owner of Springfield's Templegate Press, which published general literature and religious literature. [2] The Garvey family lived in the house for over 40 years. [2]
Springfield architect Bruce Ferry and his wife Lorraine bought the house after Hugh Garvey's death in 2003. [3]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 10, 2009. [1] [3]

Ernest Michael Wood was an architect based in Quincy, Illinois. A Quincy native, Wood entered into architecture in 1886 as a draftsman of Quincy architect Harvey Chatten. Wood remained in Chatten's practice until 1891, when he opened his own practice; collaborative works by the two include the Richard F. Newcomb House, a Richardsonian Romanesque home completed in 1891. During the early part of his career, Wood mainly designed buildings in popular period styles; examples of this period of his work include the 1900 Tudor Revival One Thirty North Eighth Building and his 1906 addition to the Romanesque State Savings Loan and Trust Company building. In the 1900s, though, Wood began to study the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie School. Wood corresponded with Wright, and his work is largely responsible for introducing the Prairie School to the Quincy region. Wood's office and studio, which he completed in 1911, was his first major Prairie School work and his introduction of the design to Quincy. In addition to his work in Quincy proper, Wood also designed Prairie School homes in Camp Point and Warsaw in Illinois and Hannibal and Palmyra in Missouri.
