Waller Apartments - Chicago, IL - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

A plaque at this site reads:

"Chicago Landmark

Waller Apartments
Frank Lloyd Wright, architect
1895

Commissioned by prominent real estate
developer Edward Carson Waller to meet the
demand for affordable housing, these apartments
are considered among the earliest examples of
subsidized housing in Chicago. The simplified
design of the facade indicates the young architect's
departure from traditional design toward the
abstract, modern principles for which he was later
internationally known.
Designated on March 2, 1994
Richard M. Daley, Mayor
Commission on Chicago Landmarks"
