In Chicago's East Garfield Park neighborhood, the King–Nash House stands as a 1901 residence designed by George W. Maher, a leading Prairie School architect. Originally built for Patrick J. King, the house blends Sullivanesque, Colonial Revival, and Prairie stylistic elements—a hallmark of Maher's thoughtful eclecticism. From 1925 until his death in 1943, the home served as the residence of Chicago political boss Patrick Nash, cementing its significance in the city's political and architectural history. Recognized for its historical and architectural merit, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and designated a Chicago Landmark in 1988.
