  • Augustus Warner House 1337 N
    PRELIMINARY SUMMARY OF INFORMATION SUBMITTED TO THE COMMISSION ON CHICAGO LANDMARKS IN SEPTEMBER 2012 AUGUSTUS WARNER HOUSE 1337 N. DEARBORN ST. BUILT: 1884 ARCHITECT: L. GUSTAV HALLBERG, SR. The Augustus Warner House is a three-story brick house built in an eclectic Victorian-era combination of the English Queen Anne and Gothic Revival architectural styles. Unusual in the context of Chicago residential architecture in both its overall style and visual ornate- ness, the house is an excellent local example of the elaborate visual eclecticism favored by Victorian Chicagoans in the late nineteenth century. The building is noteworthy for its fine use of ornament constructed with a large number of traditional building materials, includ- ing pressed brick, architectural terra cotta, molded brick, painted wood, gray limestone, and decorative metal. The building's ornament includes an unusual second-floor projecting bay window built of wood and supported by large brackets, a terra-cotta cameo medallion in its rooftop gable, paneled wood door and matching enframement, foliate-decorated molded brickwork, and curvilinear iron stoop railings. The building's historic physical in- tegrity is excellent, with the building retaining almost all historic character-defining exteri- or detailing. As a finely-designed and crafted single-family house, the Warner House is a significant “first-generation” building in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood and exemplifies the his- toric importance of the neighborhood, which developed in the post-Chicago Fire era of the 1870s, 1880s and 1890s as arguably Chicago's premiere upper-income residential neigh- borhood. Swept clear by the Chicago Fire of 1871, the Gold Coast developed first with finely-designed and ornamented single-family houses such as the Warner House that were built for upper-income and upper-middle-class Chicagoans.

    Commission on Chicago Landmarks CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2010 The Commission on Chicago Landmarks (the “Commission”), whose members are appointed by the Mayor and the City Council, was established in 1968 by City ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending to the City Council which areas, districts, places, buildings, structures, works of art, and other similar objects within the City of Chicago should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. As part of the City’s 2011 budget, a departmental reorganization was proposed which included the merger of the Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning (which includes the Historic Preservation Division that staffs the Commission) and the Department of Community Development. Adopted by City Council in November 2010, and effective January 1, 2011, a new Department of Housing and Economic Development (HED) was created. The Historic Preservation Division will continue to staff the Commission on Chicago Landmarks and is part of the new department. The Acting HED Commissioner is Andrew J. Mooney. As part of the reorganization, the Chicago Landmarks Ordinance was amended to reduce the Commission membership from ten to nine members to reflect this new department organization, with the ninth member being the HED Commissioner (or his or her designee) as an ex-officio member. This annual report has been prepared in fulfillment of the City of Chicago’s annual reporting requirement under the National Park Services’s Certified Local Government Program established under the National Historic Preservation Act. The City of Chicago has been a “Certified Local Government” since 1985. 1.

  • Old Town Triangle District Commercial Building Historic Context
    Old Town Triangle District Commercial Building Historic Context Statement in support of Chicago Landmark designaon of buildings on the1600‐block of North Wells Street, including 1615, 1617, 1628‐1630, 1645, 1647‐1653, and 1655‐1657 N. Wells Introducon The Old Town Triangle District is both a designated Chicago Landmark and listed on the Naon- al Register of Historic Places. It is recognized as historically and architecturally significant as an area that largely developed as a working-class neighborhood of mostly ethnic-German resi- dents. Thanks to pioneering post-World War II interest in building rehabilitaon and neighbor- hood revitalizaon on the part of its residents, Old Town Triangle is one of Chicago's oldest sur- viving neighborhoods. It contains excellent examples of small-scale Italianate and Queen Anne buildings, including rare "fire-relief" coages built immediately aer the Chicago Fire of 1871 devastated much of the city, including Old Town Triangle. As importantly, the neighborhood's streetscapes remain largely intact with good historic integrity. The district has relavely few non-historic buildings, and those that exist oen have significance in their own right as im- portant examples of modern architecture. Old Town Triangle is best known and recognized today for its residenal buildings. But it al- ways has had a mix of building types, including small commercial/residenal buildings that con- tained saloons and small-scale neighborhood stores. It also historically had a number of other commercial buildings, including small-scale light-manufacturing structures and a larger horse car barn for a Chicago street railway company. As such, Old Town Triangle historically resem- bled other working-class neighborhoods in Chicago, created prior to 20th-century zoning, with this intermixing of residenal and commercial buildings.
