The Meeker House, corner of Barry & Lake Shore Dr., Chicago




The latest finished etching of the Meeker House, formerly the home of the Society of Helpers of the Holy Souls, recently sold to a private buyer for development. It seems to be heading in the direction of a pricy condominium, thus my duty was to record this vestige of ecclesiastical Chicago. The etching was done in several states, the second, third and fourth are shown here. Each state was recorded in two proofs, and the final fourth shall be (inshallah) printed as a limited edition some time later this year. The plate size is 4.5" by 6".
