Raber House, Italianate residence in Washington Park, Chicago, United States
The John Raber House at 5760 South Lafayette Avenue features two and a half stories, a tall basement, and a prominent cupola on its roof.
Built in 1870 by Thomas Wing, this residence gained recognition as a Chicago Landmark in 1996, preserving its architectural heritage for future generations.
The structure represents the architectural preferences of Chicago's business leaders in the 19th century through its elaborate Italianate design features.
The residence spans approximately 4,000 square feet on a 75 by 100 feet lot, with recent renovations including roof repairs completed in 2011.
The building underwent transformation from a single-family estate to a six-flat residential unit while maintaining its original architectural elements.
