Here are some more of these great 1-story homes in K-Town. And I haven't yet touched the ones built in the Craftsman style on 21st Street.
According to the assessor, all of these were built in 1911 and range from 896 sq.ft. to 1,048 sq.ft. The one on the left has a limestone facade, while the two to the right are brick with stone details. The central house has the original canopy roof, but the columns have been replaced with a single steel support.

So I finally tracked down the K-Town National Register Nomination, and was suprised to find an advertisement for the homes in the area created circa 1910. And in Czech, of course. I can't quite figure out the source of the ad, but that doesn't stop me from posting it here.
And take a look at the home third from the left. It's a tiny greystone! And at $3,200 the price is right... Unfortunately my Czech is non-existent, otherwise it would be interesting to see how these were presented to potential buyers.
My sister owns a similar house in Cicero.
ReplyDeleteReally? Are there a lot of them there? Can you give me the intersection?
ReplyDeleteLong time reader, first time commenter. Google Translate can help solve this mystery. First, it's Czech not Polish. Second, here's a rough translation:
ReplyDeleteTHESE HOUSES FOR SALE
-the lunar installments-
Houses are found in the town where the property will always be near because of street and elevated railways which are well centered and departed.
These are all sold on monthly installments.

ReplyDeleteI wonder what the names of all the other buildings are, I've seen em all my life and can't find any catalog or information on them. I'm pretty sure first on the left is a Worker's Cottage, Not sure what the second is (it's not a Bungalow, I've seen em on the Southside)....I think 4th is a 2-Story Woodframe, and the last one looks like a Greystone, but what are the 5th and 6th ones?
