Chicago’s winner was the Frederick Winston home, pictured above, at 1508 N State Pkwy. Built for the founding partner of Winston & Strawn, the ivy-laden 10,000 square foot home has 35 rooms, 14 bedrooms, 10 fireplaces and 10 baths. The home sits on a double lot with a pond and garden.
The Wrigley Mansion at 2466 N Lakeview, which would be a likely candidate, is not listed for sale in the MLS. It had previously been listed for $9,500,000.
Another plausible candidate, the Francis J. Dewes Mansion at 503 W Wrightwood Ave, remains on the market and is currently listed for $9,900,000. The second and third parts of the video tour are at YouTube.
It’s not unusual for homes in this price range to linger on the market for a year or two. What may be Chicago’s most iconic home, the Archbishop’s Residence, would likely sell quickly were it ever to be listed for sale.
