The four grand mansions on the 1200-block, together with the three in the
1500-block, are rare survivors of what Lake Shore Drive looked like when
it developed as a prestigious residential street in the late-19th
century. The architects of these buildings include the prestigious firms
of: Holabird & Roche; Benjamin Marshall (see Lathrop House);
McKim,
Mead & White (see Blackstone Hotel); and Howard Van Doren Shaw (see Second
Presbyterian Church). |
