The Dryden Mansion and its Carriage House are a local landmark in Evanston, Illinois. The Georgian Revival structures, designed by the prominent Chicago architect George Washington Maher, were originally constructed in 1916 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the US Department of the Interior in 1970.
After serving as a residence for 35 years, the property was sold and converted to a local school district’s administrative building. In 2000, the property was purchased at auction by a local developer with the intent to rehabilitate the existing structures and return the property to residential use.
Our role included full planning and design services for the 2.3 acre site, rehabilitation of the existing structures, and design of seven new single and attached family homes.
