John D. Bush House, Exira,
<br />Audubon County, Iowa, is a two -
<br />story frame house built for John Bush
<br />by Danish immigrant carpenter Jens
<br />Uriah Hansen in the 1870s. When it
<br />was built, the house was on the
<br />outskirts of town and was part of a
<br />larger holding, which included Bush's
<br />stock farm. The town expanded and
<br />now encompasses the Bush property
<br />within a residential area. Through the
<br />years, the Bush holding has been
<br />subdivided and the large lot on which
<br />the house is situated is all that re-
<br />mains intact of the original Bush
<br />holding. The property is significant
<br />as the best surviving example of the
<br />early Danish immigrant dwellings
<br />built by Hansen, who was the first
<br />Dane to settle in Audubon County
<br />and was responsible for the construc-
<br />tion of several of the early buildings,
<br />homes, and outbuildings in the Exira
<br />area. The legal property boundary
<br />was used to define the National
<br />Register property boundary. Verbal
<br />boundary description: The nomi-
<br />nated property is bounded by the
<br />legal description as recorded in the
<br />Audubon County Recorder's Office:
<br />Part of Lot 14, Subdivision of Original
<br />Lot 9, Town of Exira, Section 4, T78N,
<br />R35W. Boundary justification: The
<br />boundary of the nominated property
<br />is the remnant of the original parcel
<br />historically associated with the
<br />property.
<br />Marshall Field Garden Apart.
<br />ments, Chicago, Cook County,
<br />Illinois, include ten buildings sur-
<br />rounding a spacious interior garden
<br />court, built in 1928 -1929. The com-
<br />plex occupies two city blocks. The
<br />buildings are oriented toward
<br />Sedgwick Street, the busiest of the
<br />streets bordering the complex: twenty
<br />storefronts and offices face this street.
<br />The central interior courtyard runs the
<br />length of the complex, with the small
<br />inside courtyards of the eight H-
<br />shaped buildings opening on to the
<br />central courtyard. The two end
<br />buildings extend the length of the
<br />block. The complex is a notable
<br />example of early privately funded,
<br />moderate- income housing in Chicago.
<br />The limits of the two city blocks
<br />occupied by the apartments define the
<br />boundaries of the National Register
<br />property. Verbal boundary descrip-
<br />tion: The area bounded by Sedgwick,
<br />Evergreen, Hudson, and Blackhawk
<br />streets, starting at the northwest
<br />corner of Blackhawk and Sedgwick,
