F: Another favorite house is this "Gothic" house in chicago. It has French Gothic architecture. It is a very cool house with a nice interior as well.

A: What did Lyman Trumbell do that made William Howard Taft say he is one of the great men of Illinois?

V: caravansary- an inn with a central courtyard

S: Three more houses I read about. The first one on 4211 North Hermitage avenue, owned by James S. McDonald. The next two started a new section called Early Hyde Park. Hyde parks oldest house was built in 1857. The third house is a cottage built around 1860.

A: So is the old Sulzer residence within the graceland cemetary now and they moved because they had to?

F: A house built in 1859 still stands today. This house was built before the civil war. Abe Lincoln was being groomed for presidancy. This is a favorite moment in my book just because of how old this house is.

V: mahogany- hard reddish-brown timber from a tropical tree

F: This book includes the house where the great Chicago fire started in 1871. At 558 De Koven Street, originally 137 De Koven Street, stands a house where the lantern was knocked over by a cow.

A: Why was the John McCaffery home was moved to its now present location on 3558 South Artesian Avenue?

F: Favorite qoute, "They would josh me and refer to our house as 'the jail
' but we didn't mind. The house suited our tastes, and we hadcplenty of room in it". I like this qoute because first off I never heard someone use the word josh before to describe a joking way. Also they describe the house as a jail but I actually like the way the house looks on 1430 astor street.
