627 N. Pennsylvania St., The Glencoe, 1986 Yes The Glencoe627 North Pennsylvania Street1901Historic Description: Eugene A. Cooper had this six-unit Eastern flat building constructed in 1901 as an investment property. Cooper, a New York native, owned a successful livery operation. He and his wife lived in the fashionable Blacherne apartments owned by Hoosier author and Civil War hero, General Lew Wallace. Residents of the Glencoe tended to be young married couples of social standing. Like the Coopers, many early occupants of the Glencoe can be found listed in the Indianapolis Blue Book.Architectural Description: Stylistically, the Glencoe is reminiscent of the Chicago School of Architecture, and features simplified classical decorative elements. It is a three-story building constructed on a high, raised basement. The front facade is divided into three bays and is faced in yellow brick. At ground level, there is a narrow limestone foundation course. A rough, quarry-face limestone course serves as the lintel for the iron filigree grills that cover the basement windows. A third limestone course serves as the lintel for the windows themselves. The central bay contains an altered double door entrance which is flanked by brick pilasters and has a three light transom. A classical metal cornice, inscribed Glencoe above the entry, separates the first and second floors. Second and third floor windows are framed by limestone molding. The third floor windows are framed by limestone molding. The third floor window in the center bay features a leaded stained glass transom light. The building is capped by a metal cornice below a brick parapet.St. Joseph Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1991 multi-family dwelling |
