  • 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
    Commission on Chicago Landmarks CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2015 The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, 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. This annual report has been prepared in fulfillment of the City’s annual reporting requirement under the National Park Service’s Certified Local Government Program established under the National Historic Preservation Act. The City of Chicago has been a “Certified Local Government” since 1985. The Commission is staffed by the Historic Preservation Division in the Department of Planning and Development. The 2015 staff consisted of six and one half staff, a reduction from 2014 due to retirement/loss. Though the Division participates in Department-wide planning and economic development initiatives, the majority of the work performed by staff is focused on the duties outlined in the Landmarks Ordinance and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission on Chicago Landmarks. This work includes, but is not limited to, landmark designations, permit review, economic incentives for landmark properties, and the demolition delay process. 1. CHICAGO LANDMARK DESIGNATION The landmark designation process begins with a preliminary vote by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks (CCL). This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but places the review of building permits for the proposed landmark under the jurisdiction of the Commission unless there is a final denial action by the Commission or City Council.

Her M.A. thesis at the University of Chicago, in General Studies in the Humanities, The Architectural Style of Dankmar Adler, is dated September, 1963. Of course, her work on Adler had begun before that date, perhaps as early as 1961. In Chapter 9, footnote 23 of this book, she relates that she interviewed Adler’s surviving daughter, Sara Adler Weil, on June 27, 1962. She had been introduced to Mrs. Weil by one of her teachers, Prof. Edward Weil Rosenheim, himself a member of the family. She began her studies of Adler acknowledging that he had long been regarded as the lesser of the partners in the famous architectural firm, Adler & Sullivan. She recognized, as have others, that Louis Sullivan was a genius and that Adler, whatever his gifts may have been, lacked that spark.
