Historic Frank Lloyd Wright home hits the market
A 122-year-old home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright hit the market in Hyde Park. Wright built the seven-bedroom home at 5132 South Woodlawn Avenue in 1897 for businessman Isidore Heller. The current owners bought the Heller House for $1.8 million in 2004, and it’s been on and off the market several times since 2012. Listed at $2.4 million in 2016, it’s now asking $2.2 million. Pamela Linn of Compass has the listing. [Curbed]

The home is next door to a 7,400-square-foot Georgian Lemonis bought in 2013 for $5 million.

Pilsen historic landmark district gets key city OK
The Commission on Chicago Landmarks approved a plan to turn a 1.5-mile stretch along 18th Street in Pilsen into a historic landmark. The designation means roughly 850 buildings and murals in the South Side neighborhood will become historic landmarks. New Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25th), though, said more community input on the plan is needed. The proposal still needs the formal approval of aldermen. [Block Club]
