The Powhatan

The Powhatan is a luxury 22-story residential tower in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood on the South Side, offering striking views of Lake Michigan and the adjacent Burnham Park. Designed by architects Robert De Golyer and Charles L. Morgan, the building stands out for its Art Deco details, which draw heavily on the work of Eliel Saarinen. Especially eye-catching are the terra-cotta reliefs on the facade, which depict stylized scenes from Native American culture. A residential co-op, it houses the only around-the-clock attended elevators in the city. Together with neighboring high-rises named after other tribes, it forms an area jokingly known as Indian Village. The building has been protected as a Chicago Landmark since 1993.
