Chicago Landmark Home. When this house was built, Austin was an independent suburb, accessed from Chicago by commuter railroad. The second oldest house in the community, it was built for Charles Hitchcock, an executive of a railroad parts manufacturing company. Its tall windows, low hipped roof, and expansive porch reflect the then-popular Italianate style, which was inspired by the architecture of Italian country villas. (All photos by Ian Spula.)
