To fully appreciate this house, it is best to remember that it was moved from its original position on Irving Park Boulevard on what was then a more spacious landscaped lot. The home is still sited on a portion of the original lot, but was pivoted 90 degrees, so that instead of facing north, it now faces west. It was moved as Irving Park Boulevard became more commercial. Facing Irving Park Boulevard, the home and its lot occupied half of the north-facing block. Where the house is now located was most probably where the stables and out buildings of the home would have been located. Using the city lot maps of today, this home occupied what are now five city lots.
