1005 N. Pennsylvania St., The Chadwick, 1986

Description:	1005 N. Pennsylvania St., The Chadwick [rear], 1986 No The Chadwick1005 North Pennsylvania Streetcirca 1923-1924Historic Description: Existing records do not clearly indicate either the builder or the precise construction date for this Eastern flat apartment building. Listings of occupants in the apartment appear in 1925, suggesting that construction began a year or so earlier. Charles D. Chadwick is the most likely candidate for developer of the project. Chadwick, who was blinded as a teenager, was the founder of the Indiana Board of Industrial Aid for the Blind and he designed the building that housed that organization. He also founded and operated a loan company. Both activities suggest an interest and involvement in real estate development. The sophisticated style of the Chadwick attracted a fashionable clientele.Architectural Description: The Chadwick is a fine example of the Georgian Revival architectural style. The three-story building is faced with buff colored brick and features classical details in limestone. The main (west) facade is five bays in width. The central bay contains the main entrance and central hall windows. The entry is framed by Tuscan engaged columns that support an unadorned frieze and entablature. The door surround is arched with a carved swag tympanum. Above the door on the second floor, limestone molding around the paired eight light windows supports a third-floor balconet with brackets and balustrade. The third-floor window is capped by a segmental broken pediment. Brickwork at the edges of the west facade simulates quoins and a wide limestone stringcourse separates the first floor format he raised basement. Windows are six-over-sox, double-hung sash with limestone sills and soldier course brick lintels. The west facade is crowned by a smooth limestone frieze and finely detailed dentil cornice.St. Joseph Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1991 multi-family dwelling
