DETAILS:

Architect James Denson designed this sprawling 1925 double courtyard brick apartment building to look like a castle, with crenelations, turrets and towers. Live swans once graced a moat-like pond. Although this feature is now gone, the bridges and some retaining walls remain. Inside the complex is one of Chicago's best-kept secrets: an extravagant indoor pool that reflects the opulence of the Jazz Age.

ENTRANCE INSTRUCTIONS:

Enter via the gate at the end of Greenleaf Ave., just before the Indian Boundary Park entrance.

No food, drink, or pets in the pool area.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE:

Visitors are invited to see the extravagant indoor pool and wander the front courtyards.
