HISTORY OF 1334 W CORNELIA
1334 W. Cornelia was constructed in 1911 in a section of Lake View distinct to this day for stone and brick 3- and 2-flats built on wider 30-foot lots.
The original oak breakfronts in all three units of 1334 illustrate the quality material and workmanship of the builder.
The most evident feature made possible by the 30-foot lot (compared to the more common 25), is wider bedrooms and more daylight between adjacent buildings.
When seller purchased the building in 1984, many structures were still occupied by widows with deep roots in the neighborhood. They were proud of their homes which, in some cases, were built by their husbands.
In this six-block area, instead of tearing down, it is more common to see the original buildings preserved or, where possible, expanded.
