John Replinger, Architecture
John designed and supervised construction of houses for more than 40 years. He did most of his work in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, but his designs also appear in rural Illinois, California, Michigan, and Florida. We have reasonable photos of most of the 40 houses that he designed. The pull-down menu beneath the “John Replinger, Architecture” page displays images of his houses organized by decade.
By a web search, we found excellent photographs of two of John’s houses, taken by Phillip Kalantzis-Cope. A few of those appear in the 1950s and 1960s pages. See the galleries on Kalantzis-Cope’s site at http://www.phillipkalantziscope.com/galleries/
For more about three of John’s houses (Allen, 1956; Shull, 1959; Peterson, 1969), see the information sheet from Modern Urbana Home Tour 2012 by the city of Urbana: http://urbanaillinois.us/sites/default/files/attachments/modern-urbana-home-info-sheets_0.pdf

We start here with the earliest work produced by the architect—a painting that he did before he designed any house:

Did John design the house at 4002 Farhills Champaign
the house is located on Lincolnshire Fields Golf Course
No, he did not. But the house has some similarities to my father’s work. The site is wonderful, and the deck creates an inviting outdoor room.
It has a lot of similarities. I recently went into a home he designed in Lincolnshire Fields and it had the same ceramic tile, etc. Maybe it was the same builder.
I love your Fathers work, very distinctive contemporary Architecture.
My neighbors think he might have built my house at 409 Sunncrest Ct W in Urbana, but it’s not on this website. Thought I’d check anyway. Thanks!
No, 409 Sunnycrest Ct West is not Dad’s design. But I like the indoor-outdoor interface, the open floor plan, the colorful interiors. Looks like a wonderful house,
