241 S Madison

241 South Madison was cited as being of first architectural significance to the Village. This Italianate boasts twelve-foot ceilings and many fireplaces; it was built in 1862. Notice the sandwich brackets and dentilwork on the cornice, the elongated windows, and the transom above the front door. And the stairway window on the north side.

The owner in 1931 was Mrs. Mable Tarrant. She and her daughter Victoria were editors of “College Chatter,” a long-running column in the La Grange Citizen.
