Ida B. Wells-Barnett House, Civil rights leader residence in Bronzeville, Chicago, US.
The three-story granite house features Romanesque Revival architecture with a turreted bay, round-arch windows, and a gabled wall dormer at 3624 S. King Drive.
From 1919 to 1930, journalist Ida B. Wells-Barnett and her husband Ferdinand Lee Barnett made this residence their home while fighting against racial discrimination.
The property stands as a testament to African American journalism and activism, representing Wells-Barnett's campaign against lynching through her newspaper columns.
The National Historic Landmark designation protects this private residence, which has been converted into multiple apartment units over the years.
The granite structure remains the sole preserved physical connection to Wells-Barnett's life in Chicago, marking her contributions to civil rights and journalism.
