Many of the stately greystones that line Chicago's streets and boulevards have fallen into disrepair, but there is now a movement afoot to renovate these beautiful historic structures. Three experts in the field of Chicago housing and architecture now offer an accessible guide to properly renovating the Chicago greystone. In clear and comprehensive chapters, the authors explain the technical aspects of inspecting, maintaining, and restoring a greystone home. They outline four levels of building restoration conditions--Maintainer, Fixer-Upper, Rehabber, and Total Gut--and chart the step-by-step renovation procedures for each level of restoration. The book effectively educates greystone owners on restoration methods that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, financially sustainable, and historically aware. The Historic Chicago Greystone provides an essential and unparalleled guide to the maintenance and restoration of these treasured Chicago dwellings.

In 2006, the residents of Chicago's North Lawndale community joined forces with the city's Department of Housing and Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS) of Chicago in a grassroots campaign to preserve the historic greystones of North Lawndale and to plan, support, and guide the neighborhood's future growth and vitality. The organization they formed, the Historic Chicago Greystone Initiative, seeks to raise awareness of this historic residential building type. The first of a two-volume guide to these remarkable Chicago homes, The Chicago Greystone in North Lawndale presents the history of the greystone as a type of residential building, provides a history of the neighborhood and the initiative, and reflects on the unique character of North Lawndale. Accompanied by captivating photographs of the greystones and profiles of local residents, The Chicago Greystone in North Lawndale offers comprehensive information on greystone structures and geography, as well as information on North Lawndale's urban development and cultural heritage. A must for anyone interested in this exciting facet of Chicago architecture, or how one Chicago neighborhood reclaimed its pride of place, this volume is a fascinating introduction to the Chicago greystone and one of its most notable communities. .

When her father dies, May Dearborne and her three older brothers all ask the same question: who is going to take care of Kipp? Kipp being their forty-five-year-old autistic brother. Who are they kidding? Since May is widowed, childless, and Kipps twin to boot, of course it will be her. May, an art professor at the University of Chicago, gives up her comfortable, independent life to move back into the family home with Kipp. But living with her quirky twin isnt easy. He makes grilled cheese sandwiches in a sideways-turned toaster, sings in an Alvin-and-the-Chipmunks falsetto, and pesters May relentlessly for a dog and a girlfriend. As May juggles teaching and preparing for the gallery show she hopes will lead to a coveted promotion, she finds herself besieged by men. Theres her narcissistic brother Sal who moves in when his wife kicks him out.And her teenage nephew who needs some space from his infatuated father. Theres Dilly, her smitten childhood friend who shows his love for her through gourmet cupcakes. And then theres Mr. Do-It-Right, the flirty painter she hires to renovate the old house. Throw in a mystery woman, a puppy, and a girlfriend for Kipp, and now everybody and their brother is clamoring for Mays attention.
