Cornell 55 consists of three historic buildings located on the tree-lined avenue named for Paul Cornell, who initiated the development of Hyde Park in 1853. Experience the craftsmanship of early 20th century architectural details: hand-laid, arts and crafts-style mosaic floors, carved-wood balconies, and wrought iron balustrades marked by the flowery emblems of the Art Nouveau style. The surrounding streetscape is referred to by residents as Restaurant Row--a variety of international cuisines for every palette, which also includes neighborhood retail stores.
