About this home

Distinguished by its striking crow-stepped gable, this remarkable residence stands proudly in the heart of historic Kenwood. Built in 1896 for Edith and Laurence Carton, the home was designed by noted architect William Otis, a graduate of Paris's prestigious Ecole des Beaux-Arts and a protege of William LeBaron Jenney. At the height of Chicago's fascination with revival architecture, Otis looked to the canals of Amsterdam for inspiration, creating a residence that beautifully captures the elegance and craftsmanship of 17th-century Dutch design. Commissioned for the treasurer of Swift & Company, the home remains an exceptionally preserved example of architectural artistry and enduring quality. Beyond its richly detailed brick facade lies a grand yet welcoming interior filled with natural light.
