This red brick single family home is located in the historic Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.
It was built in 1888 for German immigrant furniture manufacturer Hermann Weinhardt, The intricate Bavarian "gingerbread" style wood detailing, colorful paint palette, and decorative gables were included on the home to evoke the traditional architecture of Weinhardt's native Germany.
Features of the home that I love are the multi-tiered balconies, carved brackets, decorative spindlework, arched gables, and the distinctive red brick with yellow and teal painted woodwork.
Hermann Weinhardt was a furniture manufacturer and his mansion showcases the intricate wood-carving and craftsmanship associated with his furniture creations.
Trim work around the glass panel doors demonstrate the custom woodwork commissioned by Weinhardt for his residence. The transom windows are leaded glass and there is even a brass chandelier for outdoor lighting.
There are so many amazing old homes in this Chicago neighborhood.

Gorgeous home 👍 love the windows. Interesting they have kind of a modern or art deco feel versus the very intricate, delicate woodwork. Interesting because they fit so well.
What an amazing place to find in Chicago and there are more. It looks just like Germany and Colmar in France.
Nice one @melinda010100 👍

It's a beautiful house! What I liked most is its design—featuring traditional architecture and craftsmanship—and its structure, which stands just as firmly today, even after 125 years.
Sending Love and Ecency Curation Vote!
Beautiful house!
Is that a squirrel sitting on the fence? Or am I wrong?
It is a squirrel. Ours are a bit different from yours.
Interesting color combination for a house. Creativity expression, very well maintained. And that tree in front is perfect ornament. Is that a real squirrel? 😀 I wonder how the inside looks like. Sure it looks grander than it looks outside. Beautiful captures.👍💯✨
Beautiful infrastructure, I also love the balconies; being there with a hammock and a cup of coffee would be wonderful.
Very beautiful house
