Owner's Map of Union Pier
My wife and I commissioned noted architect James Nagle to build our house in 1995. We lived in downtown Chicago at the time and wanted a open floor plan with a lot of light and Jim came through with an architectural treasure that is both comfortable and elegant. The house is a second home to us, our 4 children and is our favorite vacation destination, bar none. We also like to host our extended families for events in all seasons.
