300 S. Ashland

Here is an example of a Queen Anne Victorian of unique character. Of particular interest is the wrap around porch with full classical column supports. The home belonged to Lucy Ellen Windsor, who was president of the Chicago Association of the Woman's board of Missions of the Interior. This organization embraced the missionary societies of fifty-four churches. Later the house was owned by Reverand Ira W. Allen, pastor of the Presbyterian church and president of the board of trustees of Blackburn College in Collinsville, Illinois.
