This Joliet limestone-clad house was originally built as a double house for Leander James McCormick and his son Robert Hall McCormick, two members of one of Chicago's best-known families. The house is among the city's best and oldest surviving Italianate-style houses with finely-incised pedimented window hoods and an intact pressed-metal cornice.
