Race House, Italianate residence in Old Irving Park, Chicago, US
The Race House at 3945 North Tripp Avenue stands four stories tall with red brick walls, white limestone accents, and decorative painted wood trim.
Built in 1874 for Stephen Race, this structure represents the last remaining home of Irving Park's founding family and received Chicago Landmark status in 1988.
The house location near Irving Park Road follows an ancient Native American trail, marking a significant transportation route through Chicago's northwest side.
The building underwent substantial renovation in 2002, including the conversion of its attic space into a master suite and restoration of period-appropriate fixtures.
Originally facing north on Irving Park Boulevard, the entire house rotated 90 degrees and moved to its current location due to commercial development in 1924.
