Victorian rowhouses, greystones and the park

What Lincoln Park Homes Tend to Need

Lincoln Park takes its name from the park and the Lincoln Park Zoo along the lakefront. Its side streets are full of Victorian rowhouses, greystones and large single-family homes, with vintage courtyard buildings near the park and around DePaul University.

Parts of the neighborhood, including the Mid-North District, are designated Chicago Landmark districts, so exterior changes such as new condensers and vents need sign-off from the city’s landmarks staff.

Many homes here have been renovated more than once. It’s common to find a boiler running radiators or radiant floors, a high-velocity or ducted system for cooling, and separate zones for each floor, all in the same house.

Common Problems in Lincoln Park Homes

Ask a pro
01

Coach house or top floor left out

Coach houses and top floors are often outside the main system’s reach. Ductless units heat and cool them without long new duct runs.

↗
02

Radiant floor and radiators on one boiler

When a boiler serves both, the water temperatures they need are different. Mixing valves and controls have to be set correctly, or one side runs too hot or too cold.

↗
03

Condenser placement in a landmark district

Equipment visible from the street is usually not approved in landmark districts. Rear yards, gangways and roofs are the typical locations.

Installing Equipment in a Lincoln Park Landmark District

In districts such as the Mid-North and the Old Town Triangle, permits for exterior work are reviewed by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, and outdoor units or vents visible from the street are usually not accepted. Plan rear or roof locations from the start.

Tight rear yards and shared walls also limit where equipment can go. Settling locations before the estimate avoids redesigns and permit delays.
