Lovely room, easy to get to the Green Line to get downtown, incredible stained glass windows and woodwork, clean, and *warm* (which was great, because when I got to Chicago there had been the first snow of the season). --The house is amazing. Now I want to know more about Chicago's Richardsonian architecture. Also, yes, Ryan's house is in a "pre-gentrified" or "urban pioneer" area of Chicago. I *like* that, because one gets a much better sense of what's going on in Chicago as a whole, which you won't get from cookie cutter condos in Wrigleyville.
