Wingert House, Historical farmhouse in Norwood Park, Chicago, US
The Wingert House, located at 6231 North Canfield Avenue, features Italianate architectural elements with tall narrow windows and decorative brackets throughout the structure.
Built in 1854, the farmhouse belonged to John Wingert, a German immigrant, with substantial additions constructed between 1868 and 1875 incorporating Italianate design elements.
The residence represents early German immigration to Chicago's prairie frontier, where settlers established the community of Canfield during the mid-nineteenth century.
The Wingert House gained protection status as a Chicago Landmark on July 31, 1990, ensuring the preservation of its original architectural features.
This farmhouse stands as one of the few remaining pre-1871 Great Chicago Fire structures within the current city boundaries of Chicago.
