Sydney Kent House, Queen Anne style residence in South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, United States.
The Sydney Kent House features grand window openings, sculpted materials, and intricate architectural details across its asymmetrical facade at 2944 South Michigan Avenue.
Built in 1883 by architects Burnham and Root, the residence belonged to Sydney Kent, founder of Chicago Union Stock Yard Company, before industrialist John Gates acquired it.
The property represents the architectural evolution of Chicago during the late Victorian period through its ornate Queen Anne design and construction methods.
The structure, converted into condominiums, maintains original wooden elements and glass features while serving residential purposes in the contemporary urban setting.
A preserved stained glass window adorns the north face of the building, while an encased typewriter remains as evidence of its past inhabitants.
