Gramercy Row still has a few of these up and running. I have had the pleasure of walking the inner workings of these buildings. Very cool to see a lot of stuff still kept in its original form.
I used to live on Ohio and Wells 20 years ago and I believe where both the highrises are there were matching row houses. I always remember walking past them thinking that they were so beautiful.
This year's challenges are sure to be more difficult. Reflecting back, I realize that I made horrible financial decisions for the entire year prior because I was so focused on my portfolio. I was forced to pick between future investing and purchasing a property. After opting to sell my investments, I discovered that the home I had purchased required more maintenance than I thought. It's becoming increasingly difficult to determine how much longer I can tolerate it.
Invest in companies that provide current cash flows to diversify your portfolio. I hired a planner at the end of 2023 to help me grow my portfolio, and in the last 7 months, I've profited in over 20,000 distinct marketplaces. If 2023 teaches us anything, it's that luck does not endure forever. Even in times of abundance, we should make more effort to plan for the worst case situation.
This is what you may call, “ Winning the Battle, but Loosing the War”. But I LOVE old architecture, so I wish this homeowner well. Too many developers don’t seem to value vintage architecture. And some legislators may feel the same way. That may be one reason why some cities have been granting eminent domain to private developers who claim that their projects will improve the neighborhood, or environment. But really they value profits over people and the community’s history.
Most Americans don't really care. They think renovation is restoration and gut interiors and strip integral parts off of exterior style and end up with a bland and boring mediocre house instead of the actual rare beauty of original house.
@@iwouldliketoorderanumber1b79 Historic buildings add to the vibrancy of neighborhoods and cities. Don't equate cookie cutter bullshit with keeping the integrity of a neighborhood intact. You create a false narrative there and a false comparative. Historic houses have way more value that the vast majority of SH¡T that passes for modern structures.. Nearly all of which are devoid of character and make every place look exactly the same as every other place. Keeping the historic fabric actually increases the potential of a city. Leveling it and stuffing in stupid box stores and ugly flat facaded high rises makes no sense. It's ugly. Both to live in and to look at. Shallow. Insipid. Weak. It literally drains the spirit out of people.
Gentrification in chicago???😅 I wonder how much their property taxes are, you know the developers had city leaders/officials raise the taxes like crazy in an effort to get them out and sell
For anyone who is claustrophobic I can't imagine that brownstone being anything other than office space at this point, lol how petty of the developers to leave literally inches between the old property and the new River North high rises (I wonder if you can stick a finger between the two) just because the original owner wouldn't sell, they blocked EVERY single window that they could from the sides to the rear so that makes the property very unwelcoming for families to live in. This is what happens though when you live in prime real estate areas that developers want and local government sells out to, they strongarm you forcing themselves onto you and your property eventually.
But isn't turning it into office space ( via gut rehab 🙄) just more gentrification?? Why celebrate what happened here? The last house remaining could have been saved in a respectful manner, not gutted and had it's features torn off to stick some office cubicles inside..

the two buildings are soooooooo UGLY and this beauty is still there LOVE THAT
Just like on the movie “Up” when the old guy didn’t wanna move😂❤
Remarkable work!!! An office loft was a genius idea.

It’s a 150 plus year house. That’s history. You should save it.
The only building on the block with class and interest

Take it easy because we've all made mistakes

How can one locate a verifiable financial planner?
Leah Foster Alderman. You'll surely learn more if you search her up online.
She appears to be educated and well-read. I carried out an online search on her name and found her webpage, thank you for sharing.
Love this story!

History is important.
History is a European concept. The African lifestyle focuses on temporary pleasures and animalistic emotions. The future is African!!!
@detroitman1000
History is a Christian concept.
Christianity is often persecuted but can never be overcome, thanks to Christ's
Blessed Resurrection+
That's cool af
Keep history, block out gentrification.
So you don’t want Chicago to grow or downtown to expand. So just stay stagnant?

It's like Up!
Awesome🎉
how would they repair outside mold?
How cool is that???

What's the opposite of gentrification?
Landmark it!
Many of those types of houses were demolished in that area.
Unnecessary destruction is always motivated by greed...

They made a movie about this: “Batteries Not Included”.
It's worth millions too
i hate those high rises.
Don't destroy history.
To have equity, we HAVE to destroy history! It’s the only way ✊🏿
👍🕯✨️
But yet money seems d as least persuade people to do just that.
Sad
No zoning laws???
🤲👑🤲
No way to work on anything if repairing is needed. Crazy
Gentrification… that’s one way to put it
Abysmal theft of character of place is another.
Frank Gallagher never sold…
Let’s get some balloons and lift it to Paradise Falls!
Nobody going to say anything about her sweater?
Only you apparently
What’s wrong with it?
@@Josephcalo629 I didn’t say anything was wrong with it. It’s just funky.
Two less sides to paint now
good luck finding a parking space
It's very ignorant that they're so close.

Ridiculous
