It's the curvy street that's goofy, at least about most of Chicago proper. That's why I thought about 8000 south, just west (east?) of Kedzie; bunch of Georgians on curvy streets there (& termite heaven).

West, around Tripp and in that general area. There's some curvy stuff over by Pill Hill, but it's a little south of the Hill.

No, Chicagoans. :)

There must be several thousand of these on these south side. I'm not sure if there is an uglier design.

There's tens of thousands all over the metro area, universally called Georgians. I have no idea where the name came from. Another one of those realtor hand jobs.

Ugly, stupid little houses.

Gawd!

After seeing #3 I'd better not ever hear another complaint from one of you Chi-Town guys about how strange our Northwest houses look with their deep overhanging eaves. Looks like East German housing.

It is. It's worker housing.

Chicago exploded as a metro area for 75 years, as much as any Chinese city is exploding today. Lotta houses got built. The methods were industrialized. Georgian's are real simple. Stupid and ugly, but simple.
