| Built by theology professor Rev. Johan Edgren, this house is one of the best pure examples of "pattern book architecture"– building designs sold through the mail – in the Midwest. It is the only documented design in Chicago by Palliser, Palliser & Co., widely considered the nation's most influential pattern book architects of the late 19th century. Its name derives from its plan number (#35) in a catalog called Palliser's American Cottage Homes. A significant early building in the Morgan Park neighborhood, it also is a rare Chicago example of Stick-style architecture. Characteristics of the style include wood framing laid atop the building's exterior cladding in order to articulate its underlying structure, plus boldly carved brackets and porch posts. | |
