Barack Obama House

Hyde Park/Kenwood, Chicago

Above is a pen & ink drawing of President Barack Obama’s house on Greenwood Avenue in Kenwood, Chicago. This home is one door away from the famous Goodman mansion, of Goodman Theater fame. Attorney James Montgomery is the current owner of the mansion. Kenwood is the mansion district of Hyde Park, because it has very large homes. Behind President Obama’s home is the site of the famous Loeb Mansion, at 5017 S. Ellis Avenue, from the Leopold & Loeb murder of 1924, in Chicago.

Pen & Ink Drawing Of Name #428Z

The rendering is of the front entrance of the home, because it is the most elegant view of the house. This large home was built in the day of live in staff, because labor was cheaper back then. The house is located on the corner of 50th and Greenwood, because it is a corner lot. Greenwood Avenue at this section has a barricade on it, so as to protect the home of the President of the United States.
