Chicago Sherman House No back mark. Sherman tore down the original five-story Sherman House and replaced it with this six-story luxury hotel, designed by W. W. Boyington and covered in "Athens Marble" from the limestone quarries of nearby Lemont. The fence that enclosed Court House Square, just to the south, can be seen on the left side of the image. The hotel’s main entrance was on Clark Street, through a two-story portico. One proceeded up stone stairs to the Grand Hall and a group of parlors and reception areas. These spaces, wrote journalist James W. Sheahan, "are not surpassed in size or general convenience by any similar hotel apartments in the country.” This building was lost in the Chicago fire.
