The Chicago Firehouse is located on the corner of 14th Street and Michigan Avenue at 1401 South Michigan Avenue. The building was erected in 1905 by a famous architect by the name of Charles Harmann. The firehouse was built to serve the Prairie Avenue Community and its surroundings. Residents of Prairie Avenue consisted of many of the first families of Chicago, such as the Marshall Fields, the McCormicks, the Palmers and the Glessners. Prairie Avenue from 17th to 20th Street was filled with the many socialites of the day who had built homes following the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. It is believed that this unique firehouse, which is constructed of yellow brick and limestone (different from the standard red brick), had special attention placed on it in order to stay in keeping with the neighborhood and especially its residents. http://www.mainstayhospitality.com/index.php?section=17"> width="64" height="27" align="right" alt="" src="/images/stories/menubutton.gif" />
