Fairbanks, the famed Helmut Jahn building in […]

This Beaux Arts building at 3314 N. Lake Shore Drive is unique on the Drive because it was built in 1916, not in the late 1920s like many nearby buildings, and it has attention to detail rarely seen since. It was the first shoreline high rise apartment building built north of North Avenue and it was built […]
