Film in Style
Quietly anchoring Chicago’s historic South Shore neighborhood, the Kenna Apartments is a three-story brick building designed by Barry Byrne, a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright and one of the country’s most significant Prairie-Style architects.
Distinctive stone carvings, interlocking brickwork, original wood detailing, and strong interior sight lines give the building a timeless architectural presence. Inside, three full apartments—two furnished and one unfurnished—offer productions exceptional flexibility, natural light, and cinematic flow.

Historic Elegance Meets Cinematic Versatility
Designed by Byrne and Iannelli in 1918, this landmark property embodies the craftsmanship and architectural ambition of early 20th-century Chicago. The façade features a striking sculptural detail—a symbolic figure holding a replica of the building alongside a mother and child—adding visual depth and period authenticity rarely found today.
This is a location with layered history. Like many properties of its era, it reflects both the architectural achievement and the social realities of early 20th-century America. Today, it stands preserved and reimagined—offering productions a space that can support nuanced storytelling across time periods.
