The Brewster Apartments (originally known as Lincoln Park Palace) is a residential building in the Lake View neighborhood of Chicago.
Located at Diversey and Pine Grove (originally Park), it was designed by architect Enock Hill Turnock for Norwegian-native Bjoerne Edwards, publisher of American Contractor, with construction started in 1893 and completed in 1896.
[1] The building features a pink Jasper granite exterior and employs skeleton-frame construction, which enabled the advent of skyscrapers at the end of the 19th century.
Within the external masonry walls is an interior featuring open cast iron stairways, bridge walkways paved with glass blocks, and a massive skylight.
[1] The Brewster Apartments has served as a set location for the movies Running Scared, Child’s Play and Hoodlum.
