Inscription. Built by theology professor Rev. Johan Edgren, this Stick-style house is an excellent example of early "pattern book architecture”—building designs sold through the mail. The building's name derives from its plan number (No. 35) in a catalog called Palliser's American Cottage Homes, by one of the nation's most influential pattern book architects of the late 19 century. It is their only documented design in Chicago.
