The Francis J. Dewes House is a house located at 503 West Wrightwood Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, United States. The house was built in 1896 by Adolph Cudell and Arthur Hercz for brewer Francis J. Dewes. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 14, 1973 and designated a Chicago Landmark on June 12, 1974.[1] [2] The building's exterior is designed in a Central European Baroque Revival style.[3]
Past owners and residents include Chuck Renslow and Dom Orejudos, the latter of whom housed his art studio on the third floor.[4] [5] [6] Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley invited Renslow to a 1974 ceremony to celebrate the building's landmark designation.[7]
