Mc Cormick Mansion

"The McCormick mansion, located at 1500 North Astor Street, was designed and built by New York architect Stanford White for Chicago Tribune publisher Joseph Medill (1823-1889), who gave it to his daughter Elinor Josephine Medill Cissy Patterson (1881-1948) as a wedding gift on April 14, 1904. In 1914 Cyrus Hall McCormick II (1859-1936) bought the mansion in 1927, and hired architect David Adler to put an addition on the rear part of the house."
