Four row houses in Lincoln Park were approved as an official City of Chicago Landmark district by City Council today.

Constructed between 1915 and 1917 at 2700-10 N. Lakeview Ave. in the Georgian style and modeled after late-18th century London townhouses, the four-story homes are clad in white Bedford limestone and dark Kitanning bricks in a Flemish bond pattern.

Designed by Henry Corwith Dangler and David Adler, the residences were built for a group of the architects’ friends who were artists and notable figures in Chicago society. The homes retain most of their significant details including carved limestone, wrought-iron fences, cast-iron columns, balconies with decorative iron railings, and carved wood porches.

The architects are noted for elegant country houses and city residences designed for wealthy clients in Chicago and across the country. Their careful interpretation of the historical design and details forms a visually distinctive and finely crafted group of row houses, according to the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, which formally recommended the designation to City Council in April 2016.
