860-880 Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, architect. Private, residential apartments. Project started in 1948 and completed in 1951. At the onset Mies was 61 and had been living in Chicago for just around 10 years. Individual unit redecoration aside, the buildings remain remarkably intact and stand as testaments to the man's art and genius.

Last year I saw a beautiful Mansion in Italy and now looking for a similar Mansion for my family in Dove mountain real estate. I wonder if you guys could recommend a professional agent that can help me in finding my dream home!
