Located at Hyde Park Boulevard and
Cornell Avenue, this guest and residential hotel
was built in 1890 and then rebuilt and enlarged in
1911. It so resembles the Hyde Park Hotel that it
probably was built by the same builders, Starrett and
Fuller. Source- The Chicago School of Architecture.
Many speculative hotels were built to accommodate the anticipated crowds for the Columbian Exposition of 1893, and were converted to luxury hotel/apartments following the Fair. Numerious examples of these buildings existed around the Hyde Park neighborhood, and most were later demolished and replaced with luxury apartment buildings. |
