Paramour, Chicago

With its commanding presence along the corner of South Drexel and 49th Street, this building blends a myriad of architectural features: red Chicago brick and sandstone-detailed corners grace the facade, while dual projected semi-circle bay windows draw the eye upward toward the balustrade, flanked by Grecian urns, capping the edifice. A wrought-iron gate enclosing the landscaped estate adds to the distinguished and majestic character of this property.
