Warner in the Queen Anne style.","why_significant":"The building is argued to exemplify an early approach to multifamily residential design. It resembles a string of single-family houses and is compatible in scale and materials with nearby homes. It is seen as a transitional type between single or double houses and the larger brick apartment buildings that appeared around 1900. It was also long owned by Robert Judson of Evanston's Judson family.","narrative":"Seven attached dwelling units form a three-story brick row at 1101-1113 Maple Avenue in Evanston, built in 1892 by S.H. Warner. The Queen Anne design uses a variety of materials and roof shapes: gambrel roofs on the first, middle and seventh units, shingled hipped pavilions on the second and fourth, polygonal bays, a balcony, and a conical-roofed turret on the corner unit. Limestone sills and lintels contrast with the brick walls. Inside, the units are large, with hardwood floors, oak trim, Victorian door moldings, front and back stairways, and servants' rooms on the top floor. The row reads as a string of single-family houses, yet it houses seven units under one roof. That makes it an early example of suburban multifamily housing and a transitional form between single or double houses and the larger brick apartment buildings that followed around 1900. Robert Judson, of Evanston's Judson family, owned it for many years beginning in the 1890s.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"S.H.
