Powhatan Apartments

The Powhatan Apartments is a striking 22-story luxury building located in the Kenwood neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, offering stunning views of Lake Michigan and proximity to Burnham Park. Designed by architects Robert De Golyer and Charles L. Morgan, the building showcases exquisite Art Deco details, with influences from Frank Lloyd Wright and Eliel Saarinen. Its unique terra-cotta panels depict scenes inspired by Native American culture. This residential high-rise, known for having Chicago's only 24-hour elevator operators, is part of an area humorously dubbed 'Indian Village' due to the Native American-themed names of nearby buildings. The Powhatan Apartments was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1993, making it a notable site for both tourists and researchers interested in architecture and local history.
