Bungalow Not So Sure About Haircut

In an effort to keep up with his neighbors, this classic northwest side Chicago bungalow, who had been quite comfortable with his tasteful woodwork, sunny parlor, and roomy attic perfect for one of 'dem master suites that couples always dream about, started suffering from what housing psychologists deem 'roofline envy'.

Convinced by his caretakers that a massive second floor addition built from sophisticated modern stucco rather than peon's brick would allow the caretaker's one child to have the room necessary to grow up 'healthy', the historically confident bungalow underwent a 17 month makeover. It's gonna take while for it to grow out.
