This is the only remaining structure associated with the family that
founded the village of Irving Park. This brick Italianate house, built
for Stephen A. Race, is also representative of the area's early
residential development prior to its annexation to Chicago in 1889. The
building originally was sited on a spacious lot fronting on Irving Park
Road, a former Indian trail. It was moved to its present location in
1905, at which time several modifications were made. |
