The seven story Yale Apartments, also known as The Yale, is an important "first generation" residential high-rise, a building type made possible by advances in building structure and technology, and reflects the great growth in real estate development which typified the city in the 1890s. The building is a large-scale example of Romanesque Revival architecture style popularized by the buildings of Henry H. Richardson, and exhibits excellent craftsmanship in both materials and detailing. The Yale Apartments also possesses a rare interior atrium, ringed with galleries and topped by a glass-and-metal skylight.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 05, 1998, and later designated a Chicago Landmark on April 9, 2003.[1][2]
