Tremont House, Historical hotel building in Chicago, United States
The Tremont House occupied a five-story brick structure at Lake and Dearborn Streets, containing 260 rooms across multiple floors.
Built in 1833, the original wooden structure marked the beginning of Chicago's first hotel operation under the management of brothers Ira and James Couch.
The hotel's bar room, known as House of David, served as a meeting point for politicians, including congressman David Stuart and Chicago mayor John Wentworth.
The fourth version of the hotel, constructed in 1873, later transformed into educational facilities for Northwestern University's law, dental, and business schools.
The building introduced revolutionary amenities to American hospitality, including private bathrooms and gas lighting systems for guest accommodations.
