The Narragansett, Art Deco skyscraper in Kenwood, Chicago, United States

The Narragansett rises 22 stories above East 50th Street, featuring brick piers, terra cotta spandrels, and decorative limestone on its lower three floors.

The 1928 construction marked a period of high apartment building development in Chicago, transforming the lakefront area into an upscale residential district.

The architectural details reflect the Art Deco movement of the 1920s through geometric patterns, ornamental elements, and the vertical emphasis of the facade design.

The building contains 63 residential units with an average size of 1,350 square feet, allowing cats and dogs, and includes amenities such as bike storage.

Located in the former Chicago Beach Development, this National Register of Historic Places structure shares its skyline with the neighboring Powhatan Apartments.
