We refer to “a Potter Palmer mansion” to distinguish it from the famed Potter Palmer mansion (pictured), which stood on the site now occupied by two brick high-rises at 1350 – 1360 N Lake Shore Dr.
The recently-listed home at 74 E Elm St is described as an “1888 Potter Palmer Mansion,” doubtless to distinguish it from the defunct one.
The 1888 Palmer has been renovated, and the original millwork restored and re-installed. The home has 4 bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half baths. Its 20 x 128 Gold Coast site includes a 2-car garage.
Prudential Rubloff’s Sharon Sweeney has the listing, which is priced at $3,975,000.

Bit O’ Trivia; PP’s sil, one Gen/Pres U. Grant never stayed in their home/mansion, but in their Palace on State Street.
