This Victorian House located at 1432 North State Parkway in Chicago's Gold Coast was truly beautiful. I always loved the show Webster and Flat and I were very delighted to find that this landmark was here in Chicago.
Webster is an American situation comedy that aired on ABC from September 16,
1983 until May 8, 1987, and in first-run syndication from September 21, 1987
until March 10, 1989. The series was created by Stu Silver. The show, set in
Chicago, revolves around Webster Long (Emmanuel Lewis), a 5-year-old African
American orphan whose biological parents, Travis and Gert Long, were recently
killed in a car accident. He is taken in by his godfather, retired football star
George Papadopoulos (Alex Karras), with whom Travis had played professional
football in the 1970s, and his wife Katherine (Susan Clark), an upper crust
socialite with zero housekeeping skills. Hard to believe all this took place in
the house above.
