Charles B. Farwell House

The interior of the red-brick Queen Anne-style manison was described by John Drury in his book, Old Chicago Houses: “The great entrance hall aspired to the ideal of a baronial manor house with paneled wainscot (of golden oak), an enormous fireplace niche (with a microscopic grate opening), a beamed ceiling, walls and ceilings covered with stencilled canvas, and here and there crossed scimitars, bronze statues, brass plaques, antlers, inlaid tables, Jacobean furniture and two early American Windsor chairs looking very self-conscious and out of place.” It was demolished in 1946, replaced by a Bonwit Teller store.
