Family Ties

 

David R. Matthies is among the fourth generation of his family to live in Downers Grove, settling in the late 1800s from Germany. His maternal grandfather, Grant Dicke, was the fire chief in Downers Grove for over 40 years while operating Dicke Oldsmobile.

His paternal grandfather, Dr. Richard A. Matthies, practiced at Hinsdale Hospital for over 50 years, beginning in 1936. The strong historical significance of the Matthies family is a predominant element in the design and construction philosophy of Matthies Builders.
