Description

Residence of Mr. Potter Palmer, Chicago, a 1900 photochrom print of the Palmer Mansion on Lake Shore Drive, which was knocked down in 1951 to build apartment blocks. Because evidently, people are idiots.

Note: There is a difference in colours between this image and the somewhat later image, File:Potter_Palmer_Mansion_old.jpg. According to this article from the Chicago Tribune[1] "Novelist Arthur Meeker, who traveled in the same circles, dubbed the mansion, which occupied the block between Schiller and Banks Streets, a 'liver-colored goldfish castle.'" That tends to favour this image's colours, though, of course, it could have simply been whitewashed or painted.
