Шаблон:Infobox building The Berwyn Apartments is an apartment building at 3137 Oak Park Avenue, Berwyn, Illinois. Originally the Berwyn Hotel, the building was built in 1922, at a cost of $200,000 ($Шаблон:Inflation in today's dollars).[1][2] 210 guests attended a dinner-dance marking its opening in 1923.[3] The local Kiwanis and Lions clubs held events in the hotel,[4][5][6][7] as did political parties and candidates.[8][9] The hotel also contained an elegant tea room and had a cigar stand in the lobby.[1][10] The Berwyn Conservatory of Music held concerts in the lobby.[1] An addition was built in 1929, at a cost of $25,000.[11][1]

Originally owned by Frank Euwecke, in 1943 it was purchased by Chicago attorney Maxwell Landis.[2][1][12] After Landis's death, ownership passed to his widow and later to his son, Floyd Landis.[1] In 1972, it was sold to the Berwyn Hotel Corp.[1] In 1977, it was purchased by James and Noreen Bushouse.[13] The Bushouses renovated the building, creating 46 guest rooms, ten residential suites, and space for three commercial tenants on the first floor.[13] The building was renovated in 2018, creating 28 one and two bedroom apartment units, and a fourth floor addition was built.[14]
