A rare piece of Chicago's history, the Thompson House at nine hundred fifteen North Dearborn stands as one of the Gold Coast's original architectural treasures. Designed in 1888 by Cobb and Frost, the renowned architects behind the Newberry Library and University of Chicago, this grand residence was among the first to define the Gold Coast neighborhood after the Great Chicago Fire. For the next century, it was owned and used by the Scottish Rite. The property was meticulously restored by its current owner beginning in two thousand nine, blending nineteenth-century grandeur with modern luxury. The Thompson House is now a nationally registered Historic Landmark. This masterpiece preserves its rich past while offering a remarkably livable floor plan where history, elegance, and everyday comfort coexist effortlessly. Constructed from refurbished exterior sgraffito walls and granite mosaic, this five-bedroom, four-and-two-half-bathroom home spans thirteen thousand four hundred square feet, with an additional one-bedroom, one-bathroom carriage house above the three-car garage. This home showcases exceptional craftsmanship with one-of-a-kind finishes and details throughout. Some of the elements include a refurbished original mosaic floor, custom millwork, hand-carved marble fireplaces from Italy, and custom stained glass. Throughout the home, all wood features including beams, doors, and trim are custom made from solid Honduras Mahogany with intricate touches such as paneling and carving.
