| Finely detailed with tapestry brick and carved stone ornament, this Arts and Crafts- influenced facade is an excellent example of the type of designs for which this architectural firm was noted (e.g. Schurz High School). It also represents a rare glimpse of what the area surrounding the Chicago Water Tower looked like in the early-20th century, when "Towertown" was a bohemian enclave of artists' studios, galleries, coffee houses, and nightclubs. | |
