In Neil Harris’ book “Chicago Apartments – A Century of Lakefront Luxury” there is a floor plan of a typical apartment in 1430. In plan, the building is shaped like a dumbbell. As you would imagine, the LSD side contains the Living and Dining Rooms, as well as the Library, passenger and freight elevators, kitchen, entrance gallery and one family bedroom facing the air shaft. The 4 other family bedrooms are at the west end of the dumbbell. In between is a hallway connecting the two ends, the exit stair and bedrooms and a bath for 2 staff. Originally, there were 5 family bedrooms and 4-3/4 baths.
There is also great picture from when the building first went up, without high rises to either side of it. You get a sense of just how skinny 1430 is. It is on the site of the former James Deering house and was designed by Robert S. DeGolyer, who designed many luxury apartment buildings in Chicago, including 1242 N. LSD, the Marlboro in Lincoln Park and the Powhatan in Hyde Park.
