Building at 1209–1217 Maple Avenue

The Building at 1209–1217 Maple Avenue is a historic rowhouse building in Evanston, Illinois. Built in 1892, the three-story building consists of five rowhouses. The building was one of several rowhouses built in Evanston in the late nineteenth century; the rowhouses were a precursor to the city's wave of suburban apartments, which also offered house-like living in a multi-unit building. Prominent Chicago architects Holabird & Roche designed the building in the Queen Anne style. The building features porches at each unit's entrance, projecting bays, and a gambrel gable and two triangular gables separated by dormers.[2][3]
