1865 – Tuttle Building, Chicago, Illinois, USA

Front elevation for Fred Tuttle and others, Chicago by the Architectural Iron Works of New York. Described as “Elevation of Front of Building erected for F. Tuttle & others” in the illustrated brochure Illustrations of iron architecture, made by the Architectural Iron Works of the city of New York (1865). Demolished 1933.

“This noble structure stands at the northeast corner of Lake and State streets, measuring 68 feet front on the former, and 140 feet on the latter street. It was begun on April 7th, 1872, according to the plans of Van Osdel, and cost $80,000. It presents a very handsome street front, and belongs to the better class of our mercantile structures. Mr. Frederick Tuttle, the owner, is one of our oldest and most esteemed citizens, having come to Chicago in 1836, since which remote date in our history he has been a consistent resident. Mr. Tuttle has also built since the fire a handsome block on Michigan avenue, on the site of his old residence, and will build still others the coming spring. He is a large owner and believer in Chicago real estate.”
