Description

**Historic Greystone with Iconic Chicago Legacy - Bronzeville** Step into history with this grand 3-story Greystone, formerly the residence of Harold Washington, Chicago's first Black mayor. Nestled in the vibrant Bronzeville community, this architectural masterpiece boasts original, timeless features that will captivate anyone seeking vintage charm. The home exudes elegance with inlaid wood floors, intricate crown molding, and original built-ins throughout. Multiple fireplaces, each with their original wood and tile work, offer a glimpse into the rich craftsmanship of the past.
