Summary

| Description |
English: The Perkins-Nordine House is an early 20th-century house in Chicago, Illinois. It was built by the architectural firm of Pond and Pond in 1901 for the industrialist Herbert Perkins in 1903. It was later the home of Ken Nordine from 1951 to his death in 2019. Pond and Pond, a partnership of the brothers Allen Bartlitt Pond (1858-1929) and Irving Kane Pond (1857-1939), were responsible for the "best examples" of Arts and Crafts architecture in Chicago. The Perkins-Nordine House shares design elements with other Pond and Pond structures, including both the Jane Addam's Hull House and the Lorado Taft Midway Studios.
The Perkins-Nordine House is a three story structure and is one of the remaining mansions in the Edgewater neighborhood. Its ornate brickwork resembles that of Hull House. The house is on the corner of Kenmore and Glenlake avenues, with the entrance on Kenmore formerly facing Lake Michigan. The residence was built on a large plot before the urbanization of Edgewater, but retains a large yard. The house now faces the St. Bonaventure Friary, a Franciscan residence, built in the mid-20th century. The house was purchased by Ken Nordine (1920-2019) in 1951. Nordine was a jazz performer and radio personality in the Chicago area; his personal studio was located in the residence. |
