THE PROVENANCE…

This pre-World War I apartment house remains one of the more elegantly conceived residences in the city.
An 11-story red brick and white-glazed terra-cotta building, it features distinctive classical details and a
central row of bay windows.

The main building was erected as an investment by architect Benjamin Marshall four years before he added
the annex just to the west. Most main building apartments are one to a floor, but the annex contains a series
of duplexes. There are 13 apartments in all. Each is divided into public, private and service sectors—or
living, sleeping and servants’ quarters as its self-description put it—revealing Marshall’s careful planning
and sensitivity to his wealthy clients. “Every modern convenience obtainable in present day life is included
in the equipment,” the developers promised, as in this case it was no overstatement. 199 East Lake Shore
was converted to a cooperative in 1995.

199 East Lake Shore Drive is home to many high profile, busy Chicagoans who desire a private, low key,
intimate, prestigious, service-oriented building to which they can retreat, relax and entertain family and
friends.

THE VISION…

The Owners’ upscale lifestyle and refined sense of style and taste inspired the vision that is clearly evident in
this incredible home. They purchased the home and proceeded to make it their own using careful attention
to every single detail and a full commitment to luxury and quality, resulted in truly the most beautiful home
in the city!

HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT EXTERIOR…

The timelessness of Benjamin Marshall will live on for decades to come. Ideally situated in the middle of
the block, the columned rotunda, the handsome bronzed entry, the symmetrical architectural detail and the
stunning landscaped front gardens combine to create an intimate yet grand feeling.

The building consists of duplexes and simplexes, the east simplexes are the most desirable with lovely, large
bay windows, spacious open floor plan and east and west Terraces and a Solarium.

THE RESIDENCE…

Elegant and distinguished, this trophy home spans the entire length of the building. The commanding views
of Lake Michigan and the city are unparalleled. As you ascend from the well appointed Lobby, you share
the sixth and seventh floors with only one other residence on each floor.
