Located on the quaint residential street named for Paul Cornell, who began the development of Hyde Park in 1853, Cornell Terrace displays the material sensuality of the era in which it was built. Creamy sandstone details contrast with the red brick facade, with entries and windows marked by keystones characteristic of early 1920's Chicago architecture of these historic Hyde Park Chicago apartments. Colorful foliage along the landscaped entry completes the picturesque palette of these Hyde Park rentals.
