Chicago's Gold Coast residential district is chock full of gorgeous tree-lined streets, historical architecture and stately homes, just like this 136-year-old townhouse. Built in 1884 for Rambler bicycle businessman R. Philip Gormully, the unique façade combines multiple architectural styles and features oxidized copper details, giving it a charming and almost eerie ambiance.
