Prominent architect Howard van Doren Shaw designed everything from churches to sprawling country estates to this urban house, his first commission in the Hyde Park neighborhood. His wife Frances later recalled "the proud moment early in his career when he received this commission." Built in 1895 for Henry C. Thompson, this significant Tudor Revival style house has been updated with all the conveniences of modern life. Features include formal living and dining areas with adjacent library, four bedrooms, three fireplaces, chef's kitchen, zoned a/c and a beautifully landscaped oversize backyard. Basement is unfinished but with ample ceiling height, and a necessity in this part of the neighborhood, there is a two-car tandem garage and driveway parking. Located near the Lab Schools, the University of Chicago, the beauty of parklands and the lake, and easy transportation to the Loop.
