Henry Gerber House, Historic house in Old Town, Chicago, US.
The brick row house at 1710 North Crilly Court features Queen Anne architectural elements with two asymmetrical bays and round-arched transom windows.
Henry Gerber established the Society for Human Rights at this residence in 1924, creating the first chartered LGBT rights organization in the United States.
The house served as headquarters for educational initiatives and community outreach programs addressing social perceptions of LGBT individuals in the 1920s.
Located near Lake Michigan in a residential area, the property remains a private residence without public access but stands as a National Historic Landmark.
Chicago police conducted a raid at this address in 1925, confiscating the typewriter and documents used to produce the first gay-oriented periodical in America.
