Paul Revere Masonic Temple, Sheridan Park, Chicago
How much do you think this huge house with this huge lot on the corner of Wilson & Ashland is going for? I tried to look up the history online but didn’t find much. I did discover that it’s a landmark. .. and that Zoned R3 must mean residential. From the Landmarks Preservation Council of Illinois –
Ravenswood Club Building
(Paul Revere Masonic Temple)
1521 West Wilson AvenueDesignated a preliminary Chicago landmark on October 7, 2004, the building is for sale by the Masonic chapter which has occupied it since 1920. It was built in 1899 (it also has a 1902 addition) as a family social and civic club. Today, it is one of the oldest surviving club buildings in the city. Zoning would permit residential re-use.

List price is 1 million.
Assuming google cache is correct.
I’ve driven by that place since I was a kid. Always wondered about it.
i guess national treasure didn’t cause a masonic revival?
Here’s the Century 21 listing for it. According to the listing, it’s listed for $1.3 million–and needs to be gutted.
Unbelievable. Do you know what $1.3 million gets you in the SF Bay Area? A 1960 one-story 3-bedroom with a small yard. And $1.3 M was last year. It’s probably $1.5 M by now.
