Five Houses on Avers District, Historic district in South Lawndale, Chicago, US.
The Five Houses on Avers District contains five residential buildings at 1942, 1950, 1952, 1958, and 2102 S. Avers Avenue, featuring Romanesque Revival architecture.
Czech immigrant Jan Kralovec developed these five properties between 1892 and 1894, following the extension of the Cermak Road streetcar line to this area.
The houses reflect the architectural preferences of late 19th-century Chicago executives and contractors who commissioned residences in emerging suburban neighborhoods.
The district maintains its original structural elements and serves as a reference point for studying residential architecture from the 1890s Chicago development period.
Each of the five houses was built for different owners, including lumber company executives John Krupka and John Miksak, contractor Frank Layer, and Antonie Kubin.
