ONE-OF-A-KIND HISTORIC THOMPSON HOUSE  LISTED
FOR $21.9 MILLION

 CHICAGO (October 2018) – Tatiana Miller with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage is pleased to announce that the historic Thompson House located in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood is now listed on the MLS. This 19th century Romanesque Revival mansion built of Lake Superior sandstone boasts 13,400-square feet of living space which perfectly marries old world charm with the luxuries of today. Priced at $21.9 million, it is currently the 2nd most expensive property on the market in Chicagoland*.

Standing on a corner lot at Dearborn and Delaware in the Washington Square Historic District, the Thompson House was designed in 1888 by famed architects, Henry Ives Cobb, and Charles Summer Frost, who notably dreamt up the Chicago Opera House, Palmer Mansion and Dearborn Observatory. The property, which was originally built for prominent attorney John Howland Thompson, was deservingly recognized as a historical landmark in 2003**.

After purchasing the property in 2009, the current owner invested millions of dollars into reviving and modernizing the property, to restore its unique original features while making the home comfortable for modern living.

“This one-of-a-kind home stands in a very sought-after Chicago neighborhood and is filled with character and charm throughout. It is the true definition of luxurious modern living.” said Miller. “I am very honored to represent this fantastic home.”
