A Chicago Landmark In Indian Village, by Tina M. Austin

The Powhatan Towers was designated a Chicago Landmark on January 12, 1993.  It is a 22-story residential luxury high-rise overlooking Lake Michigan in the Kenwood neighborhood on the south side of the city.  It was designed in 1927 by architects Robert DeGolyer and Charles L. Morgan in the Art-Deco style.  The exterior of the building is intricately designed in Indian limestone and terra cotta, and features Native American motifs of wildlife and other ornate features.  It is a beautiful historic building with very interesting features to photograph.
