Year Built:
   
Originally a Dutch colonial house, it has been remodelled extensively over the years.  At one time there were no east-west streets between Lake and Chicago Avenues, when Superior, Erie and Ontario streets were proposed, Erie would have cut directly through, on a straight line, where Elizabeth Court is today.  A group of local residents, led by Rev. Humphrey convinced the city elders to create Elizabeth Court as a curved street, it remains the only curved street in Oak Park today.
