01. Graemere Hotel
Northeast corner of Washington & Homan
1923 By Walter W. Ahlschlager
Demolished 1977; now the site of an apartment building

The Graemere was once esteemed as the West Side's premier venue for weddings, banquets, and social celebrations. Its proximity to Garfield Park made it extra desirable. Later ideas to convert the building into public housing never succeeded.
