True to the mix of styles found throughout Hyde Park, 5524 blends the rustic beauty of the materials brick and stone, featuring geometric keystones, expansive articulated window openings, and geometric terra cotta ornamentation highlighting the roofline. In contrast, the commanding entry, flanked by Ionic pilasters and topped with an ornate pediment, reflects a Grecian influence. A landscaped lawn surrounds the front of the building, situated a short distance from Lake Michigan and public transportation.
