North Chicago Hospital Building

Address: 2551 N. Clark St. Year Built: 1928 - 1929 Architect: Meyer J. Strum Date Designated a Chicago Landmark: May 13, 2009

Located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, the North Chicago Hospital Building stands as an elegant visual anchor along one of the North Side's busiest commercial thoroughfares. The eight-story limestone-clad building was designed in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, and its main façade has a wealth of elegant Classical ornament, including pediments and rusticated stonework. Built to house a small neighborhood hospital, the building exemplifies the history of hospitals and their design in Chicago's outlying neighborhoods.
