The Wingert House is a nineteenth-century
Chicago Landmark status on July 31, 1990.[1] It is part of the Norwood Park
neighborhood.
The house was built in 1854 as the home of John Wingert, a German immigrant who had fled his home country due to religious persecution. A two-story
Italianate style section was added between 1868 and 1875.[1] The Wingert House is one of the few extant buildings in Chicago that predate the Great Fire of 1871.[2]
Fire
"The Wingert House caught fire on March 10, 2021. There was some damage to the rear, but the window frames and roofline were basically intact."[3]
