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 Avenue

Designated 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.

  2. 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.
