3 The Shakespeare Building Ideally located across from the park in Chicago s desirable East Lincoln Park neighborhood, the prestigious Shakespeare Building is a 24-unit courtyard-style building constructed in It was designed by Simeon B. Eisendrath, a former employee of renowned architect Louis Sullivan. Sullivan s influence is evident from the hearty foliate terra cotta surrounding each of the building s five main entrances to the sensible Prairie-inspired interiors with family-friendly layouts that place the bedrooms together. The Shakespeare Building offers many unique features: All of the units were originally designed with four of five bedrooms, with all the bedrooms together along a single hall. The building is shaped like a capital W, creating ample light as well as garden views from every residence. The front tiers overlook the park. Amenities include a large fenced backyard with grass, patio pavers, patio furniture and dining tables, and barbecue grills. A rarity in the city, the backyard is perfect for recreation, children s play, and al fresco dining. Another highlight is the building engineer, who has meticulously cared for the building for several decades. He thoughtfully maintains the building, landscaping, and snow removal and can help residents with deliveries, etc. Another benefit is the large storage space in the basement. Each residence has a private room plus use of a large shared space (one per entryway) that is ideal for storage of bikes, seasonal sports equipment, and/or extra furnishings or for fitness machines and play areas. Each unit includes an assigned parking space. The building is ideally located across from Lincoln Park s annual and perennial gardens, the Conservatory, and the Lincoln Park Zoo. It is situated on the same physical block as Francis W. Parker School and is within walking distance of Lincoln Elementary, Lincoln Park High School, and the Chicago Latin School. The 151 and 156 buses to downtown are available across the street on Stockton, and shopping, restaurants, and amenities are conveniently located a block west on Clark Street.
