Vacation Home Rentals in Chicago, IL Harald Marius Hansen was already a renowned architect and artist in Europe, but moved to Chicago presumably after the Great Fire turned Chicago into a tabula rasa -blank slate) for architects. As an architecture and freehand drawing instructor at UIUC from 1871-1872, Hansen designed the 1st plan of the Illinois Industrial University grounds using University Hall as his starting point. In 1886, Hansen designed twelve homes in an L shape on this block of West Eugenie and Wells Streets. Of those which survived the 1970s modernization movement, 164 is the most ornate as it was the architect's own home. These surviving five homes are designated as Historically Significant examples of the now rare Second Empire architectural style.
