Mansions, greystones and the Damen-North-Milwaukee crossroads

What Wicker Park Homes Tend to Need

Wicker Park takes its name from the small triangular park at its center, and the intersection of Damen, North and Milwaukee is its busiest corner. The streets around the park, especially Pierce and Hoyne, are lined with large Victorian homes built by German and Scandinavian merchants in the late 1800s.

Much of that area is the Wicker Park District, designated a Chicago Landmark in 1991, with buildings dating from about 1870 to 1930.

Large historic homes here often still heat with boilers and radiators, sometimes with multiple zones. Many have been restored or divided into condos, with cooling added over the years.

Beyond the district, the neighborhood mixes greystones, two-flats, three-flats and newer infill homes, so heating and cooling needs vary block by block.

Common Problems in Wicker Park Homes

What Wicker Park’s historic homes bring to HVAC.

Ask a pro

Mansion split into condos, one boiler

When a large home becomes three or four condos, the original boiler often stays shared. Zoning and clear responsibilities keep each owner comfortable.

↗

Ornate radiators that won’t heat

Older radiators can fill with air or sediment. Bleeding, flushing or freeing a stuck valve usually brings them back.

↗

No visible spot for equipment

In the landmark district, outdoor units and vents visible from the street are generally not approved. Rear yards and roofs are the usual answer.

Before you replace anything

Work Inside the Wicker Park Landmark District

Exterior work in the district goes through the Commission on Chicago Landmarks as part of the building permit. Plan condenser and vent locations at the rear or on the roof from the start.

Inside, keep working radiators. They suit these houses, and cooling can be added with high-velocity or ductless systems without changing the heating.
