The former is located in the Chicago Landmark Historic Michigan Boulevard District and the latter along the Magnificent Mile. Their father John Drake had been a business partner of Timothy Blackstone. The brothers acquired the property for the Drake Hotel from the estate of Potter Palmer in 1916 after he gave up on the idea of building a hotel himself.[3] Notes1. ^Berger, Miles L., "They Built Chicago: Entrepreneurs Who Shaped a Great City's Architecture," Bonus Books, Inc., Chicago, 1992, p. 159., ISBN. {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Drake, John}}{{1870s-US-business-bio-stub}}2. ^Berger, Miles L., "They Built Chicago: Entrepreneurs Who Shaped a Great City's Architecture," Bonus Books, Inc., Chicago, 1992, p. 152., {{ISBN|0-929387-76-7}}. 3. ^Stamper, John W., "Chicago's North Michigan Avenue," pp. 118–122, The University of Chicago Press, 1991, {{ISBN|0-226-77085-0}}. 5 : 1872 births|1964 deaths|American hoteliers|Businesspeople from Chicago|20th-century American businesspeople |
