Upgrading a building on Sweethome Chicago

[Jon Grant 4472]

Thanks for the info.

In the photos I found, most of the awnings were equal in length at front and at the sides. The majority seem to have had sides and a few had fronts that went nearly to the ground, making an additional room to the store with merchandise and boxes.

Some of the photos showed awnings on the upstairs windows, but I passed on that as a timesaver, as many of the photos showed windows without any awning at all, retractable or otherwise.

I also checked out Air conditioning, as most residential housing didn't start getting it until 1948-55. It was around in the 1930s but was more for industrial and retail use due to the expense
