About this home

Characterized by its distinctive crow-stepped gable, this distinguished house is situated in the heart of the historic Kenwood community. The picturesque property was constructed in 1896 for Edith and Laurence Carton, and its overall scheme and exceptional detailing were conceived by the talented architect William Otis. A protege of renowned architect William LeBaron Jenney, and educated at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, Otis brought a solid sense of historical architecture to his work at a time when clients craved revival styles. Otis designed this house on Greenwood Avenue for the treasurer of the meatpacking giant, Swift & Company, and the residence is a testament to artistry, craftsmanship and enduring style. Behind the richly detailed facade, done in the style of 17th century Amsterdam, lies an expansive interior filled with historic charm and modern comfort. Original woodwork, tile, and art glass are beautifully preserved, while thoughtful updates ensure ease of everyday
