They were designed in 1880 by Treat and Foltz for Isaac N. Maynard.","why_significant":"The nomination argues local significance under Criterion A for Community Planning and Development, as part of the fashionable district that grew around the Washington Square set-aside park. It also cites Criterion C for Architecture, as a significant example of the Queen Anne style in rowhouse form with Eastlake and Victorian Gothic details. The rowhouses retain their integrity, original location, setting and residential function.","narrative":"Three attached brick rowhouses at 119-123 West Delaware Place in Chicago, half a block west of Washington Square, were built in 1880-81 to designs by the architects Treat and Foltz. Isaac N. Maynard, a commercial iron merchant, obtained the building permit in September 1880. Each unit is 2-1/2 stories on a full basement with a side-hall plan, and the group has a pedimented central bay, varied brick patterns, stone stringcourses and a copper cornice. The style is Queen Anne with Eastlake and Victorian Gothic details. The block sits within Bushnell's Addition, a subdivision whose owners gave land to the city for an open public square, which drew fashionable development. The rowhouses are valued as a well-preserved example of the style in rowhouse form and as part of that neighborhood's growth. They keep their original location, landscaped verges, sidewalks and front setbacks, and remain in residential use as three homes.","period_of_significance":"1880-81","architect_builder":"Treat and Foltz, Architect","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still in use as three separate residential units; exterior renovations on 121 and 123 were completed in 2003, and interiors of 119 and 121 are in excellent condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:37.721435-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/94/8909/28890994/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/04000077.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04000077/b848527ca8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04000077/b848527ca8-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Smallbones","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Maynard_Row_Houses.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Smallbones</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Maynard_Row_Houses.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28890994","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_N._Maynard_Rowhouses","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q48813198"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/cook-county/maynard-isaac-n-rowhouses-04000077/"}
