Covent Hotel

The Covent Hotel is a historic residential hotel at 2653-65 N. Clark Street in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1915, the hotel was one of the many residential hotels constructed in early twentieth century Chicago to house the city's growing single working-class population. Covent Hotel was a rooming hotel, a subtype of residential hotel that exclusively offered single rooms with few amenities. Like many rooming hotels, the Covent Hotel housed commercial space on its first floor, including a restaurant to provide convenient nearby meals for its residents. Architect Frank E. Davidson designed the Classical Revival building, which features brick piers and a parapet.[2]
