My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What architectural style is my home?

6 years ago

Does anyone know what residential style our home is? I can't tell if its a "craftsman" style, a foursquare, a 3 story bungalow (if there is such thing!), etc. We are in the city of Chicago and it was built in 1901. This could be a very simple question but I clearly have zero architectural experience. Thanks for any feedback!
