Colvin House, Prairie style mansion on Sheridan Road, Chicago, US.

The Colvin House features a central entrance, broad hipped roofs, and rectangular forms spread across 6,000 square feet of living space.

Built in 1909 by architect George W. Maher for Edwin M. Colvin, vice president of W.F. Hall Printing Company, and his family.

The residence displays geometric forms and tulip motifs on columns, representing Maher's architectural theory of incorporating local flora into designs.

The 16-room residence now functions as Creative Coworking's second location, offering workspace and event venues in a landmarked setting.

The interior contains three original fireplaces, a grand staircase with crystal chandelier, and two stained glass windows designed by Maher.
