Palmer Houses on Schiller Street
|
Clearly seen here are the expensive building materials employed on facades of these houses built speculatively by Potter Palmer between 1889 and 1891. Not evident, are the hundreds of dollars invested in infrastructure systems within the house, which made indoor plumbing, gas lighting, and central heating possible.
