430-436 N Clark is a creative period-redevelopment of three adjoining buildings. Built in 1871, 430 N Clark was one of the first structures built on North Clark following the Chicago Fire. Owner Henry Lamparter planned the 3-story building with stores on the ground floor and apartments above. The exterior walls are common brick, possibly salvaged from the fire debris. Built in 1872 by coal merchant Edward K. Rogers, 436 N Clark was designed by W.W. Boyington—architect of Chicago’s historic Water Tower. 432 N Clark was designed over 100 years later—in 1987—to merge the two historic buildings. Excavation during the construction project revealed antique bottles, clay pipes and other artifacts from a saloon which stood on the site during the 1880’s.
