Oscar Mayer Mansion Restored To Gilded Age Glory After $1.5M Renovation
After a roughly $1.5 million repair, J&S Home Renovations has revived a Gilded Age house with roots in the food industry. The son of Oscar Mayer, the creator of the processed meat company, had previously possessed the Oscar Mayer Mansion, which was first created by architects Hallberg & Sturm and constructed in 1901. For almost ten years, this Gilded Age mansion, like many others, was in a state of decay. In 2015, J&S Home Renovations agreed to pay $1.1 million to buy the mansion after realising how beautiful it might be restored. The estate received an additional investment of about $1.5 million, which was used to remove an outdated two-story expansion and restore the home’s original brick fireplaces, ornate mouldings, radiators, stained glass windows, and light fixtures. A selection of images showing the mansion before the restoration can be found here. The 7,400-square-foot brick mansion sold for $2.95 million in May 2016 after being restored. After two years on the market, it sold for $1.73 million in July 2018. Showhomes has more information about the Oscar Mayer Mansion.

Eifler & Associates worked on the project: “The home was designed by Hallberg & Sturm and originally built for Oscar Putnam in 1901. Now known as the Oscar Mayer House due to his ownership from 1927-1965, the house was purchased by a development team in 2014 after sitting vacant for 10 years. The house was entirely renovated and included all bathrooms, kitchen, and mechanical systems. Windows were restored in accordance with State of Illinois requirements. The rehabilitation project was awarded a preservation award from the City of Evanston upon its completion.”
