Drawing inspiration from the neo-classical styles of the 18th century, architect Charles Follen McKim here created a residence of great dignity and elegance. The clarity and simplicity of its facade make this one of the finest examples of Georgian Revival architecture, a type of Colonial Revival, in this country, and a rare Chicago example of the work of this famed New York City architectural firm. It was built by realtor and civic leader Bryan Lathrop. In 1922, it became the headquarters for the Fortnightly, a women's organization.
