On my way home from the bike shop yesterday, I stopped at the Sulzer Regional Library in Lincoln Square. While I waited in line, I noticed a display on one of the tri-folding school project boards. It looked like it was put together by a middle school kid and had pictures and information about the Abbott House which is located right down the street at 4605 N. Hermitage. I decided to take a ride east to Uptown to visit this Chicago Landmark.
The Queen Anne-style house was built for Dr. Wallace C. Abbott and architected by Rudolph Dahlgren and Oscar Lievendahl. It was built in 1891, with an addition added in 1906. Dr. Abbott was an pioneering physician and pharmacologist and founded the Abbott Alkaloid Company (later Abbott Labs) right here in Ravenswood in 1888. In those days, many unreliable remedies were market to the ill. Abbott advanced the practice of medicine by manufacturing high-quality drugs in accurate doses.
