Nice pictures. It’s interesting that they made this area a historical district. A lot of houses like these were destroyed to make way for the United Center. My grandmother liked in a two story graystone similar to these houses.
Thanks Suzette. I should actually go to see where the United Center is. Someone told me it’s near there. The graystones are beautiful! My Aunt lived in one in Lincoln Square.
