Chicago Georgian Renovation
This narrow old home in downtown Chicago is only 12 feet wide! The home went through many revisions over time to the point where it was in disarray and in dire need of renovation. Every inch of space was taken into account when redesigning the new layout. The central stair was removed and replaced with a custom elliptical staircase with stained wood continuous handrail and painted spindels. The corner of the staircase is punctuated with a classical column and plinth. The existing fireplace was modified with a repurposed antique metal mantel and surround. New period style decorative wall coverings, panel molding, and crown moulding were brought in to polish the new home. The transformation is stunning.
