Fountain Plaza Apartments is a historic apartment building at 830-856 Hinman Avenue in Evanston, Illinois. The three-story brick building was built in 1922. Swedish-born architect John A. Nyden, who also designed multiple other apartment buildings in Evanston, designed the building in the Classical Revival style. [2] The building's design includes Palladian doors with fanlights, limestone quoins, and a hip roof with parapets and a cornice. The central courtyard is both raised and nearly surrounded by the building, providing privacy despite the building's proximity to a commercial district. [3] [4]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 1984. [1]
