This is one of the city's oldest surviving buildings, constructed as a
farmhouse in an area then known as "Horse-Thief Hollow"--later a part of
the village of Morgan Park. The original Charles D. Iglehart farmstead
was bounded by 111th, 115th, Western, and Rockwell. The building's front
bay and rear wing, which complement its original Italianate-style
design, were added in the 1870s. |
