500-508 North Clark Street

A century separates the construction of 500 North Clark and its sister building 506 North Clark.  The 500 building was erected in 1980 with a design intended to complement its older neighbors.

Erected by Jonathan H.P. Dodge as a combination store and apartment building in 1880, the high quality of 506 North Clark's design was indicative of the increased acceptance of apartments as first-class accommodations in the early 1880s.  The detailing of the sandstone façade is particularly noteworthy.
