About this property
The South Park Manor Historic District is a residential historic district in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The district includes 263 Chicago bungalows built between 1915 and 1927. At the time, single-family homeownership was becoming broadly accessible to Chicagoans, and the bungalow was a popular choice for dense urban housing. The bungalows in the district were designed by several developers, but the district has a consistent appearance nonetheless. The use of a single home type throughout provided uniformity to the neighborhood, while stylistic variations such as the placement of dormers and porches gave each house its own character.
