301 S Waiola Ave

301 South Waiola was designed for J. Lyon by C.F. Jobson c 1910. It is an example of the Prairie style. Note the decorative strips on the facade and the decorations at the windows of the front and side entries. The striking window treatments define the mood and character of each room. The rooms are large and spacious with dark oak trim in the living room, dining room, and den.

Architect Jobson designed this home in 1909 for Joseph and Emma Lyon who lived here in until 1926, when the home was sold to the George Montgomery family. Later owners included Walter Templeton, William Brandt, and John Gilmore, who was President of the Chicago Board of Trade.
