Swannell House is a Prairie School house in Kankakee, Illinois, United States. Designed by Tallmadge & Watson in the Prairie School style, it originally belonged to a local merchant. HistoryCharles Edward Swannell was born in Momence, Illinois in 1856. He attended Lake Forest Academy and the Jacksonville Business College. His father Frederick founded a dry goods store, which Charles joined in 1871; five years later, he was named a partner. His brother Arthur joined the firm in 1882, when he purchased his father's interest in the store.[2] The company, C. E. & A. Swannell, owned and operated the Swannell Building at the corner of Court Street and Shuyler Avenue in Kankakee. The building had a dry goods store, public market, blacksmith, and offices.[3] The house was designed by Prairie School architectural firm Tallmadge & Watson. It is the only building by the architects in Kankakee. The firm designed the house in 1911; three years later it was featured in a publication entitled Fireproof Houses of NATCO Hollow Tile.[4] On June 3, 1982, the house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. On August 22, 1986, it was also listed as a contributing property to the Riverview Historic District.[1] ArchitectureThe Charles E. Swannell House is on a {{convert|100|x|135|ft|adj=on}} lot on the Kankakee River in Kankakee. The main facade faces east toward South Chicago Avenue. Built on a concrete foundation, the two-story house has an attic and a massive hipped roof. A dormer window from the attic faces west. The roof has cedar shingles with metal ridges. Like many Tallmadge & Watson houses, the exterior walls are gently sloped inward as they rise. The walls are built with {{convert|10|in|adj=on}} NATCO hollow clay tiles covered in cream-colored stucco. These walls are decorated with brick for the water table and a stringcourse under the rood. The house is divided into three bays; the northern bay of the main facade features a rectangular open porch.[4] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Swannell, Charles E., House}}2. ^{{cite book|title=Portrait and Biographical Record of Kankakee County, Illinois|year=1893|publisher=Lake City Publishing Company|place=Chicago|p=368}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Stevens|first=Norman S.|title=Kankakee: 1853-1910|series=Images of America|year=2004|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|isbn=978-0738533384|p=14}} 4. ^1 http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/201312.pdf 8 : Kankakee, Illinois|Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Illinois|Prairie School architecture in Illinois|Houses completed in 1911|Houses in Kankakee County, Illinois|Tallmadge & Watson buildings|Historic district contributing properties in Illinois|National Register of Historic Places in Kankakee County, Illinois |
