The Elbridge G. Keith House is a limestone-clad mansion defined by its slate mansard roof, marking it as the final surviving example of the Second Empire architectural style that once dominated this avenue. Built in eighteen seventy for Elbridge Gerry Keith, a wealthy banker and merchant, the home occupies a prominent corner in what was Chicago's most exclusive residential neighborhood during the Gilded Age.
