The Original Playboy Mansion In Chicago's Gold Coast

Located at 1340 North State Parkway this 70 room brick & limestone residence was built in 1899 for Dr. George Swift Isham. And for most of it's life it was a fairly sedate building on a quiet street in one of Chicago's better neighborhoods. In 1959 it was bought by Hugh Hefner and for the next fifteen years it was Hefs hutch. While he lived there the front door had a brass plate that read "Si Non Oscillas, Noli Tintinnare" which in Latin means "If you don't swing, don't ring. It has since been divided up into condo units. While I was researching this clip I came across a site that had a bunch of pictures from inside this magnificent structure. You can see them here. http://www.popeater.com/2011/04/17/hugh-hefner-photos/ Visit our web portal at http://www.mindsimedia.info/
