Alfonso Iannelli

[1] Noted architect Bruce Goff completed the building in 1929 for a local music teacher named Patti Adams Shriner.

Iannelli also worked on numerous exhibitions at the 1933 Century of Progress (Chicago World's Fair), including the Radio Flyer and Havoline Thermometer buildings.

He went on to open Iannelli Studios in Park Ridge, Illinois, in collaboration with his wife Margaret, a talented illustrator and artist in her own right.

Among Iannelli's most famous industrial designs are the Streamline Moderne-inspired C-20 "Coffeemaster" vacuum coffeemaker and T-9 electric toaster for Sunbeam Products, which the company introduced as its flagship modern appliances in honor of the 1939 New York World's Fair.

In the mid-1930s, he created for the Wahl Eversharp company an Art Deco design for a fountain pen and accompanying mechanical pencil.
