Set back from the street, this building welcomes residents up the solid front stairs and past its facade that reflects the clean designs of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The warm brick exterior creates a play between light and shadow, adding visual interest and depth through recessed masonry patterns. Limestone keystones articulate major window openings, and a landscaped lawn provides a spot to relax or absorb neighborhood activities all just a few minutes from Lake Michigan, public transportation and the mix of restaurants and cafes along 53rd Street.
