| The Adams House is located at the corner of Avenue G and 43rd Street in historic Hyde Park. Shipe Park with tennis courts, swimming pool and playscape is located one block to the north as is the Elisabet Ney Museum. To the east one block is Hyde Park Bar and Grill and la Dolce Vita Coffee House. Adams House is located in historic and central Hyde Park. It was built in 1911 for Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gesswein as a one-story, L-shaped bungalow with wraparound porches on the east and south sides. The House was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Adams in 1922 and was elevated to a two-story colonial revival home in 1931. Adams House was recently renovated by historic preservation architect Gregory Free. The original pine floors, sash windows, slate flooring and twelve-foot ceilings have all been restored. The home is now owned and operated as a bed and breakfast establishment by Sidney and John Lock.
