I'm from the Back of the Yards. When I was growing up those homes where beautiful and well kept. That looks like the homes on Garfield Boulevard. We always said that the rich families lived there.
My family is from Chicago .. since late 1800s to present. My great grandparents lived in Englewood in 1900s . It seemed back then a nice little town. I always look for pictures from back then..if you ever go there I’ll give you some address from back then 🙄
Englewood was a very prosperous community, many decades ago. It still could have been that today, but the local politicians dropped the ball. Society also became meaner, which compounded the problem. A lot of finger pointing is done, and there is plenty of blame to go around. My prayers go to the poor law abiding people currently stuck in this hell hole. They did not make it the way it is, but a small minority of lawless people did. Here's hoping the area can be turned around soon for the better. The good residents of that area deserve far better than they are now experiencing. I lived in that area many decades ago and can attest to how much better it was then. Things are not hopeless. Things can, and must be turned around for the better foe EVERYONE involved. That's my take on the situation.
It is so cool that you guys do this. I am from Chicago you guys must have balls of steel to go into these places. I like the clock in this video reminds me of Salvador Dali.
A while back I went through Englewood because my sister an I wanted to see the spot where the infamous Murder Castle was. The neighborhood is so desolate, houses abandoned left to decay, no signs of life. And I’m talking beautiful ones that have that livable potential like the one you guys went to see. Thanks so much for making the video!
U a lie I live in englewood ....the murder castle use to sit where it’s a post office now my neighborhood not the best but I be damn if I sit and let u talk about my community
@@dezmon2x295 I know that the murder castle is gone it used to be where the post office is now and you’re right. I beg your pardon, it was never my intention to offend anyone. No disrespect to your community at all. It’s really cool. I’ve kept coming back. I meant on some of the houses that are have been long ago abandoned.
That is a typical chicago "2 flat" apartment building. (In Milwaukee they call them "Upper-lower duplex") The first flloor and the second is almost exactly the same floor plan in most of them. The reason for the 2 units was that many people would buy a 2 flat, live on the first floor and rent out the second floor to pay thier mortgage. It would be great if someone buys it and convert it to a single family house. The bedrooms are smaller than the modern apartments but the dining room and livingroom are much bigger...please dont bulldoze it down.
Right, that is what is sometimes called a greystone 2 flat. (Greystone as the exterior surface on the front street facing side was of gray stone. I used to own/live in a brick 2 flat in the Berwyn/Cicero area. The layouts of the two apartments were very similar. You can still see all the wood trim on the doorways and windows of the gray stone in the video. Those homes were beautiful in their better days. That small room with the shelving off the kitchen is a walk in pantry. Most 2 flats and even apartments built during that time period (late 1800’s up through the 1930’s included such a walk in pantry in the kitchen. That rear wooden stairwell was likely an open outdoor stairway when the place was originally built and then later enclosed. That was also very common to 2 and 3 flats in Chicago.
@@bangbang-ko2gi ...I sure some families did. When I lived in Milwaukee, I rented the lower part of something like this (Paying $600 a month) and the tenants upstairs were so noisy that when they moved out, I offered the landlord $1000 for both units. He actually agreed to it. It was great for me for some peace and quiet and it was good for the landlord not having tenants constantly moving in and out because of the noise issue.
I grew up in one in Chicago. There were three apartments in ours. A fairly famous writer/actor named Studs Terkel lived on the second floor. We lived on the first and the owner lived on the third. They all had built in china cabinets in the dining room (space next to that picture.) Great video as always!!
Nancy Kennedy , for many years, Studs Turkel had a radio show in Chicago, on WFMT (98.7 MHz) and I always enjoyed his perspective as he interviewed many people of many different walks of life. He passed on, but is not forgotten. I remember Studs talking on how he first started working for WFMT. He said he liked the station a lot, and he called them up one day. He said he would like to work for them and he realized they could not afford to pay him very much, but he didn't care, because he didn't have much money, either. The rest, they say, is history. His show was very popular for the rest of his life. Quite a guy. He would end his show, telling his listeners to "take it easy, but take it." They don't make people like him any more, unfortunately.
They were generally 1-3 flat apartments and the downstairs apartments had basement access. The balcony access may have been removed around the time the city codes changed for balconies and stairways.
I miss the old architecture in Chicago, from the homes, to the sky scrapers, Chicago truly is one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL cities in the world, too bad it's marred by all the violence. I moved out of Chicago in '06, to Reno Nevada to get away from the gangs,violence, & drug spots on every corner, on favor for the slow lane in the Sierra Nevada's!!! 💯
Chicago is truly beautiful. It's a shame that so many historic buildings are endangered, and many are being demolished daily. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment ✌️
Homes built before the depression era were intended to be single family dwellings with a possible grand parent add as afforded. It wasn't until the depression that additional floors went rental property to help with the monetary shortage of the age. And that tradition has go onward until now when renovators are coming on to fix these darlings and restore them to the original single family ideas.
TATN This Ain't That Network , you hit the nail, squarely on the head. There was a lot of blame to go around on this. A lot of people in both races got hurt really bad financially, while others immorally profited enormously. It is a complicated scenario, with a lot of justified finger pointing going on. Now, the good, law abiding citizens in these areas are severely victimized by the minority lawless thugs who hang out in these kinds of areas. Very tragic, indeed.

It would be to see a “ before” picture of the houses or the neighborhood. I bet it was beautiful! People could make a living & had dreams! It’s so sad that greed of the top few, took precedence over the good of all . At the end of the day I truly think that’s why the jobs left; why our country isn’t doing well in general. A friend of mine works for a company that pays her $15 bucks an hour. She complained that fast food workers wanted $15. I thought the bigger issue was WHY SHE wasn’t getting paid more for her skilled job? Everyone in this country should be paid fairly, but I swear the rich love us squabbling ourselves into substandard living, while they run off with all the gold. And these empty homes are the results of greed. Sorry for the novella, lol, but seeing these legions of abandoned homes makes me really sad , coz it’s so likely representative of things to come
I live in such a building now. Generally built all throughout Chicago from around 1895-1910. I noticed the basement at some point was likely converted into a third apartment. Most of those conversions are usually illegal, but hey, dat’s Chicago. Kitchens would be off rear door/porch. Also noticed the built in cabinets in the dining rooms were straight up gone, likely salvaged. The balconies on Chicago graystones are almost always aesthetic only. Super cool vid. Subscribed!!!
Nicole Smith, that would explain all the pealing paint and falling apart plaster in all the rooms. Apparently, the fire was rather small, because most of the structure survived. The water used by the fire department to put out the fire, damaged all the walls below. I hope the building can be restored. It is not hopeless yet, but will be if someone sets it on fire again.
This video was so cool man. I’m from a suburb close to Englewood but different houses in different towns always interest me. So much history and families that went in and out and you always wonder how they were decorated/what happened behind those walls!
What a beautiful old building. The built ins looked original too. Any idea when it was built? Thanks for another great explore. You guys stay safe during these trying times!
Another cool explore! At first I thought this place could easily have been my great aunt and uncle's house in Chicago -- or at least one just like it -- minus the pink paint! (Our family is originally from Chicagoland). But when you moved outside, I see it was a stand-alone house, unlike theirs, which was a rowhouse. Do you think that the vacant lot on the left was part of this property? I bet that empty space was originally filled with similar houses. Thanks for the great work -- and stay safe and healthy out there! PS. Love Chicago architecture!
Chase River, whenever you see an empty lot in this area, that lot probably had a house on it at one time. The house probably fell into disrepair for any number of reasons, and the city of Chicago acquired it, for unpaid back taxes. When the building gets worse than the one you see here, it gets torn down, because it is a danger to the community, and it cannot be restored. I grew up in this neighborhood many, many decades ago, when the area was really thriving. It thrived so well, that its shopping district, centered around 63rd and Halsted, pulled in lots of retail sales, second only to the shopping areas of downtown Chicago. Let's hope this area can somehow recover. The remaining buildings were as nice as this one, and most can surely be restored to their former glory.
Not sure why everyone in the video and comments are talking about these types of buildings in past tense? This is a classic Chicago apartment. They're everywhere and still lived in.
This was an interesting vid,i just wish the house was more well preserved 😉 But enjoyed what i did see,was very curious as to how these houses looked on the inside,thankyou much for sharing this👍🏻👍🏻
Crazy how in cities like NYC and LA there’s a housing shortage like crazy but in our City we have so much empty land and run down homes we could invest in.
Such beautiful woodwork. It somehow still gleams through all the dust. I hope if this is ever demolished that someone salvages the beautiful doors and wood. Was that a dumb waiter in the pantry? Was it always two separate houses? It would have been beautiful and probably still was until recently. I'd love to know what the deal is with the bright pink paint though.
Uy debe haver sido hermosa, pero esta vuelta un escombro por dentro es increíble y es inmensa, lastima por fuera se ve tan bonita antigua, por lo. Menos el vide es de la Ciudad de Chicago, ya que nunca aparecen videos de esta ciudad 👍👏
Brick City, thousands of houses like this had their ownerships defaulted to the city of Chicago for failure to pay back property taxes. You can buy them from the city, really cheap, but they would insist on bringing back to proper condition in a reasonable amount of time. But these houses are in really bad crime areas. I grew up in this neighborhood, many decades ago. About two thirds of the houses on that block are currently abandoned, literally begging to have them restored to their former glory. If you can, go for the challenge.
I'm wondering what is with that pink paint? Perhaps it was a brothel? Can't really see anyone totally loving that much pink...of course, I could be wrong lol.
So people lived this close to each other? They walk through someones house to get to theirs? I thought a whole family would live in these. I see that some were apartments but that doesn't seem like a lot of privacy
Chicago has been dying since White Flight began, the violence, political corruption, drugs, gangs ran damn near all the rich people ( Old Money ) out of it. That's why there's condos costing up the a$$ being built daily, no one wants to invest in a rehabilitated home when the neighborhood WON'T change. Only people who will do that already stay in the area grew up there and seen it all. We have such beautiful homes here that need the attention but you honestly can't ask or beg people to move in area where the mice are afraid of gun fire 🔥
Any idea when this was abandoned? Like you said, it's in rough shape and really decrepit. It's rare to see places this bad but this one gets a pass because it's Englewood lol

Studs Terkel was an icon in Chicago for decades. He walked with some interesting people.

I've been inside many houses like this that are still lived in. They are some of the coolest and most beautiful houses I've ever seen!!
THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS. WHEN THEY WERE UP AND RUNNING. THEY BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO. LOVE WATCHING IT. IT CAN BE REPAIRED.
I grew up in a Chicago 2 flat. Now it’s in the worst neighborhood in the city. Sad to see these destroyed.

And what makes you think there isn't gangs and violence in Nevada?

It wasn't until the depression that additional floors went rental property to help with the monetary shortage of the age. And that tradition has go onward until now when renovators are coming on to fix these darlings and restore them to the original single family ideas.
And then add a 30 foot wall around them with security and police rounds. A billionaire could bring some of these homes back to life
I hate how some of the most beautiful homes are in some of the worst neighborhoods
These neighborhoods weren't always like this. White flight is the reason behind a lot of neighborhoods not being invested in Chicago.

How could they abandon the gray stone castle home
Boxcar style floor plan. Y'all should have gone at night. Probably filmed there neighborhood watch gang bangers.
