From Swamp Land To Lake Shore Drive For example, he purchased the swampland on the north end of the area, dredging and reclaiming it, eventually turning it into Lake Shore Drive. Likewise, he worked to move the city's commercial district from Lake Street, which ran east/west, to State Street, which he would subsequently widen to handle the new traffic from those living in the Gold Coast and beyond. It was then, under the shadow of the castle-like 42-room Palmer Mansion, that droves of other magnates and a veritable list of who's who from Chicago to make the decision to start living in the Gold Coast.

A museum today, the structure boasts details and features developed by Wright while he was still a draftsman at Sullivan's office.
