John D. Runge House
2138 W. Pierce Ave.
1884, Frommann & Jebsen
The elaborate two-story porch beautifully frames the views through robust posts and finely worked motifs, such as the Masonic insignias under the eaves of the gabled dormer.
Chicago is justly celebrated as the birthplace of modern architecture.
