The houses share brick construction, limestone ornament, uniform setbacks and similar massing, with subtle variation in entries and detailing. Together they form a consistent streetscape of single-family homes with a single supporting school building.","narrative":"Located about ten miles south of downtown Chicago's Loop, this residential district covers many blocks between 75th and 79th Streets, bounded by South King Drive and South State Street. Quiet, tree-lined streets hold one-and-a-half story brick bungalows built mainly from 1915 to 1927, mixed with two-flats and small apartment buildings, plus Ruggles Elementary School. The houses represent the Chicago bungalow, a regional variation of the national bungalow style, with low-pitched roofs, brick walls, limestone accents, full basements and horizontal massing. Decorative brick patterns, art glass windows and limestone window-box brackets give individual houses variety within a uniform building line. The district counts 264 contributing buildings and 54 noncontributing ones, which are mostly altered bungalows, apartment buildings or later residences. Its significance rests on the cohesion and integrity of this bungalow streetscape, which remains in very good condition, with only minor alterations such as replacement windows on most buildings.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Other: Chicago Bungalow","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is described as very good overall; one building at 7705 S.
