Its plans separate public, family and service areas, and it combines a traditional Renaissance Revival exterior with modern amenities such as elevators. The excerpt does not state the criteria or period of significance.","narrative":"Located one block west of Lake Shore Drive in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood, 232 East Walton Place is an eleven-story apartment building with a steel frame, tile and concrete structure faced in stone and brick. A two-story limestone base contrasts with red Flemish-bond brick above, and an elaborate cornice with stone finials crowns the south facade. Architect John Fugard chose a restrained Renaissance Revival design that he considered suited to an apartment building of the better class. A carved-stone entrance leads to an oak-paneled lobby with a painted zodiac ceiling and stained-glass mezzanine windows. Each upper floor holds two ten-room apartments laid out as mirror images, with zones for entertaining, family life and servants. The building is discussed as part of the early wave of Chicago luxury apartment houses that adopted the plans of private mansions while adding elevators and other modern conveniences. It remains in residential use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"John Fugard (architect)","architectural_style":"Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century Revivals / Second Renaissance Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as multiple dwelling; recent work includes brick replacement on the east elevation, a renovated elevator cab, and a restored lobby floor.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:37.228137-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/25/8921/28892125/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/12001113.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12001113/a3f9387463-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/12001113/a3f9387463-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"dstrut","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Neuville_2013-10-08_19-32-18.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">dstrut</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Neuville_2013-10-08_19-32-18.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"94001029","name":"Lincoln Park","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/illinois/lincoln-park-94001029/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28892125","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Neuville","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q48815521"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/cook-county/neuville-the-12001113/"}
