What makes this property unique
Built in 1906, this home has quietly witnessed over a century of Chicago history: from the era of Al Capone and Prohibition to the World’s Fair, the Great Depression, both World Wars, and the Civil Rights Movement. It stood long before the Sears Tower rose into the skyline. We feel honored to live in a home with such a rich past, and we’re excited to share this piece of history with you during your stay.
