Architecture
Washington Park Court, which runs one-way northbound from East 50th Street to East 49th Street, is a one-city block-long street located at 432 east in the Chicago street numbering system. Officially, it runs from 4900 south to 5060 south in the numbering system. The street and several adjacent homes at one end are recognized as a distinct district within the city, according to the City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development. In May 1990, the district was one of ten that were under consideration for Chicago Landmark status, and it was designated a Chicago Landmark on October 2, 1991.  The district was named for the Park, which was designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.The T. G. Dickinson Real Estate Company, which created the subdivision in 1892, mandated 10-foot (3.0 m) setbacks for all properties and originally sold lots in small groups of two or three.  Between 1895 and 1905, the tone of the district became clear with the development of its row houses. In 1990, the district contained forty-nine row houses that span a wide variety of architectural styles including Classical Revival and Romanesque.  As of 2004, the district contained fifty-one properties.  The street hosts residential designs of architect Henry Newhouse and of developers Andrew and John Dubach.  At least twenty-five of the lots were developed by the Dubaches and at least twelve of the properties were designed by Newhouse.  Their architectural contributions set the tone for the block, which uses mostly brick and limestone houses that share porch and cornice lines.  Most houses have mansards or recessed roofs with bay fronts.
