Also called the Wood Maxey Boyd House, this historic 1885 home sits at 2801 S. Prairie Avenue, a lone example of a once-thriving extension of Chicago's famed Prairie District. This house was saved from the wrecking ball several times by its owners, Drs. Charles and Alva Maxey-Boyd, who meticulously restored the home they purchased in 1948 for a mere six thousand dollars.
