	Payton Chung says: The only Landmark-ed pre-fire house with a cupola is the Raber house, which is decaying sadly in Englewood. Don't think it's in Old Town, as it burned, too; Ravenswood, maybe? Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )
	Payton Chung says: Oh! I found it. Ropp-Grabill House, 4132 Keeler in Old Irving. Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )
	ote1925 says: Paytonc - You got it! (Sorry I didn't respond to your guess, Motobecane, I've been kinda out of the loop lately.) Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )
