Welcome to one of Kenwood's most prominent houses 4935 S. Greenwood Avenue, originally known as the "Turner Residence," this home was designed in 1888 by the renowned architect Solon Spencer Beman, best known for the Chicago Fine Arts Building, Grand Central Station and the Pullman Community. This stone and brick mansion was originally constructed for a merchant of dry-goods, Edward H Turner (1847-1900) and was later owned by Adolphus W Green (1843-1917), co-founder of Nabisco, National Biscuit Company. This unique home combines multiple architectural styles including a prominent Queen Anne 2-story turret, that inspired other architects building in the Kenwood area at that time.The colonnaded classical entrance comes with bracketed eaves and a classical large round veranda. Elegant entrance, including original mosaic floor, leads into a grand entry hall, round family/music room and stately living room flowing into beautiful dining room that opens to the sun room/porch through set of large glass doors.
