Designed by one of the most inventive early 20th-century architects, this
house is an amalgamation of the Sullivanesque, Colonial Revival, and
Prairie styles. It was originally commissioned by wealthy businessman
Patrick J. King, but its most well-known occupant was the influential
Irish-Catholic politician Patrick A. Nash, who lived here from 1925 to
1943, when Washington Boulevard was one of the city's most-fashionable
addresses. |
