Lincoln Park Lily Pool
Also known as: Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool
Why it's listed
Lincoln Park Lily Pool is a historic district located in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 17, 2006, under reference number 06000235. The document available for this entry is an administrative locator card rather than a full nomination. It records that the entire folder for the property is missing, and the card was completed in March 2015. Because the description and significance sections are not included, the text does not say when the pool was built, who designed it, what it looks like, or what arguments supported its listing. It also gives no information on the property's present condition or use. Details about the district's history and importance would need to come from the original nomination file, which this record indicates could not be located at the time the card was completed.
Significance in brief: The supplied document is only a locator card marking the nomination folder as missing. It gives no statement of significance, so the reasons for listing cannot be determined from it.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
