One of the city's finest pre-World War II modern designs, this is an
exceptional—and rare—example of the
Art
Moderne style of architecture, which was influenced by European
modernism. The unique layout of the 12 units and their common
courtyard--which, together, occupy an extremely narrow site running
perpendicular to the street--has contributed to their desirability as
residential apartments. Further distinguishing the building is its
handcrafted ornamentation by prominent artist Edgar Miller. The building
was commissioned by Frank Fisher, Jr., an executive of Marshall Field &
Co. |
