Details
Promontory Point
The NRHP site of the former
South Side of Chicago until 1965.[3] The neighborhood hosts the Powhatan Apartments, the only 24-hour elevator operator building in Chicago.[4] Regents Park's South Tower is the tallest building in the Kenwood community area.[5] Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed the Algonquin Apartments, which are a set of six identical 14-story towers in the neighborhood, and the nearby Chippewa Cooperative Apartments.[6][7][8] When the developer altered these projects' glass-enclosed lobby design, Mies asked that his name be dissociated from both.[9] In 1951, they were completed along with the adjacent The Twin Towers Apartments, which originally housed U.S. Army personnel at the Fifth Army Headquarters.[10]
