| When the imposing structure was completed in 1916, it was considered the last word in Chicago apartment living according to the Chicago Tribune, and was to become home to such notable families as Peacock, Studebaker, Spiegel and Goldblatt over the years. Today, after nearly a century of gracing the Chicago lakefront, 3314 Lake Shore Drive retains the same dignified presence as it did when it was the “talk of the Midwest.” Its impressive facade featuring brackets, balustrades, cartouches, crests, lanterns, festoons, scrolls and carvings still stands proudly overlooking beautiful Belmont Harbor and Lincoln Park, and its elegant marble entry foyer and grand lobby. 3314 Lake Shore Drive now combines the grace of yesteryear with the conveniences and amenities expected in the 21st century. Residents enjoy year around heating and air conditioning with individually controlled climate units, as well as digital cable television. There is a guest room which may be reserved for owner’s guests for a modest fee, an expansive furnished rooftop deck with barbeque facilities and a resident building engineer. |
