Washington Park Court District
The Washington Park Court District is a Grand Boulevard community area neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. In May 1990, it was one of ten districts under consideration for Chicago Landmark status.[2] It was designated a Chicago Landmark on October 2, 1991.[3] Despite its name it is not located within either the Washington Park community area or the Washington Park park. It is one block north of both. It includes rowhouses built between 1895-1905 with addresses 4900-4959 South Washington Park Court and 417-439 East 50th Street.[3] The district was named for the Park, which was designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The one-city block-long street hosts residential designs of architect Henry Newhouse and of developers Andrew and John Dubach.[3] The district contains fourty-nine rowhouses that span a wide variety of architectural styles including Classical Revival and Romanesque.[2]
