Designed in the
Richardsonian Romanesque style by an eminent architectural
partnership, this house was built for Ransom R. Cable, the president of
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Company. The Cable House is among only a few remaining structures that illustrate the original elite residential character of the area just west of North Michigan Avenue. |
