Drawing inspiration from the neo-classical styles of the 18th century,
architect Charles Follen McKim here created a residence of great dignity
and elegance. The clarity and simplicity of its facade make this one of
the finest examples of Georgian Revival architecture, a type of Colonial
Revival, in this country, and a rare Chicago example of the work of this
famed New York City architectural firm. It was built by realtor and
civic leader Bryan Lathrop. In 1922, it became the headquarters for the
Fortnightly, a women's organization. |
