Winnetka's architect-designed houses often hold built-in kitchens renovated over decades, and the village's own electric utility serves them, so maintenance there reads each built-in's data plate, cleans its coil and grille and keeps its hinges aligned under heavy custom panels. ## What Winnetka does to a home appliance. Winnetka incorporated in 1869 with about 450 residents, after railroad promoters Charles Peck and Walter Gurnee subdivided the land in 1854. The village became known for homes by architects George Washington Maher, Walter Burley Griffin, Howard Van Doren Shaw and David Adler, giving its housing stock a heavier architect-designed share than many North Shore suburbs. Its oldest surviving residence, the Schmidt-Burnham Log House, has been relocated more than once and now sits on what is the Indian Hill Club grounds. About 0.081 square miles of the village's 3.89 total square miles is water, part of a Lake Michigan shoreline maintained through a Park District established in 1904.
