Built by theology professor Rev. Johan Edgren, this house is one of the
best pure examples of "pattern book architecture"– building designs sold
through the mail – in the Midwest. It is the only documented design in
Chicago by Palliser, Palliser & Co., widely considered the nation's most
influential pattern book architects of the late 19th century. Its name
derives from its plan number (#35) in a catalog called Palliser's
American Cottage Homes. A significant early building in the Morgan Park
neighborhood, it also is a rare Chicago example of Stick-style
architecture. Characteristics of the style include wood framing laid
atop the building's exterior cladding in order to articulate its
underlying structure, plus boldly carved brackets and porch posts. |
