The Ernest Loeb House is a historic house at 1425 Waverly Road in Highland Park, Illinois. The house was built in 1930 for Ernest Loeb. Architect Arthur Heun, who also designed a nearby home for Loeb's brother Allan, designed the house in the Georgian Revival style. The house's design includes a brick exterior, a fanlight above the front door, a pediment at the roofline above the entrance, and a hip roof. Landscape architect Jens Jensen designed the house's grounds, which feature characteristic elements of Jensen's work such as curved paths and native plants.[2][3]
