Eckstrom Residence (1)604 W. Arlington Pl. (originally 1756 Arlington Pl.), Chicago, IL
|
A building permit for 604 Arlington Place was listed in the American Contractor's Chicago building permit database May 18, 1901 (p. 21). A year later (May 31, 1902, p. 25) the database references a second building permit issued for the adjoining 606-608 Arlington Place lots. The owner's name was listed alternately as "Mary Eckstrom" and "Maria Eckstrom." See entries for other adjacent Eckstrom Residences at 606 and 608 W. Arlington Place (below). It is likely that this building has been severely altered from Cobb's original design.

Swank, Charles W., Residence548 W. Arlington Pl. (originally 1822 Arlington Pl.), Chicago, IL
|
American Contractor's Chicago building permit database reported the issuance of a building permit on March 16, 1901 (p.22). If the house was built, it was likely torn down to make way for the 1920s era apartment building that now occupies the lot. Swank was most likely a speculative builder and not the occupant of this house.

Jones, David Benton, Residence1439 N. Astor St. (originally 141 Astor), Chicago, IL
|
American Contractor's Chicago building permit database reported the issuance of a building permit on May 24, 1902 (p. 25). There is no building or lot presently extant at 1439 N. Astor St. Two adjacent residences at 1435 and 1443 N. Astor were built c.1905 and c.1890, respectively, with the most likely scenarios being that the residence was never built or was or was built elsewhere.
