It was built as an income-producing structure near the railroad station and was among the most impressive buildings in town when built. It also reflects the town's railroad-era growth and the Vogt and Fulton families.","narrative":"Built in 1872 at the corner of Oak Park Avenue and Hickory Street, this two-story brick building is a rare surviving Italianate structure in Tinley Park, then known as New Bremen. Karl Vogt began construction in 1871, expecting a rail junction would create demand for housing near the Rock Island station. The Chicago fire changed those plans, and Vogt went bankrupt soon after finishing the $17,000 building. It stood empty for over thirty years until it was bought in 1908 and later passed to the Fulton family, who remodeled it in 1912. Its boxy form, low hipped roof, bracketed cornice, tall curved-top windows with limestone keystones, and dark red brick with limestone trim are typical of the style. Inside, a central hall divides four apartments, and original walnut stair details and grained trim survive. The building is listed for its architectural integrity and its prominent place beside the railroad station, which remains a familiar sight to commuters.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied and in use as an apartment building with four apartments; described as needing rehabilitation but with original elements intact.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:35.082867-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/22/8920/28892022/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/87002499.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87002499/b9f761ebec-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87002499/b9f761ebec-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Teemu08","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Karl_Vogt_Building.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Teemu08</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:Karl_Vogt_Building.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28892022","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Vogt_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q97174617"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/cook-county/vogt-karl-building-87002499/"}
