On Orchard Street in Lincoln Park, Owen was “taking photos and having floorplans and
marketing done” for her clients’ six-bedroom, 8,400-square-foot home, she said in an email,
when “a broker contacted me through word of mouth with a buying client and it all worked out.”

The buyers, who are not yet identified in public records, were represented by Suzanne
Gignilliat of @properties.

Built in 1995, the red brick and limestone house is on a 65-by-125-foot lot, compared to the
city norm of 25-by-125. The sellers, according to the Cook County Recorder of Deeds, are
Elizabeth Foster and Michael Walsh, who bought the home in 2003 for a little under $3.4
million and later expanded it.

The house was built by BGD&C, a Lincoln Park custom builder behind several of the biggest
Lincoln Park mansions of the past few decades, including a Burling Street mansion that sold
for 2021's highest price of $12.55 million.

The Mohawk Street property is a contemporary home familiar to passersby for its horizontal
stripes, both in its orange cladding and metal-banded windows.

Designed by architect Dirk Lohan and built by Metzler Hull, the house is 8,700 square feet with
an 1,100-square-foot rooftop deck, four-car garage and elevator.

The home is owned by Harry Seigle, who ran the family owned Seigle's building materials
supply company before it was purchased by a national firm in 2005. He did not respond to a
request for comment, and his selling agent, Phil Skowron of @properties, declined to
comment.

Public records do not show what Seigle spent to build the house, which is on an undersized
lot--2,856 square feet compared to the 3,125 feet of a standard lot.
