Some shoebox houses in the K-Town Historic District of Chicago on the west side. Documenting and illustrating these buildings was one way I stayed sane during quarantine. Dates of construction range from the 1900s through the 1920s.
I can't help but be impressed at the level of detail lavished on homes which are comparable in size to a 2-bedroom apartment! It was only possible due to inexpensive land and astounding levels of readily available craftsmanship, primarily from immigrants.
