Welcome to the Herriot house! The year was 1911 when David and Janet Herriot commissioned the building of their home 2047 W. Tasso Place in the Village of Morgan Park. At that time, the village of Morgan Park was a wooded idyllic suburb that reminded David of his home in Ireland. The Village of Morgan Park was annexed into the city of Chicago in 1914.
