Logan Square sits inside the nationally-significant Chicago Bungalow Belt — ~6,000 bungalows built 1910-1940 with characteristic face-brick exteriors, offset front entrances, and low-pitched hipped roofs. The Chicago Bungalow Association retrofit protocol governs energy-efficiency upgrades on these homes.
The Logan Square Boulevards National Register District (1985) covers the grand boulevards (Humboldt, Logan, Kedzie, Palmer) — any work visible from the boulevards requires conformance with the district's streetscape-character standards.
Because Logan Square bungalows have low-ceiling basements (6'6"-7'0" original), the ADU Pilot Program basement-conversion option typically requires floor excavation ($15K-$40K adder) to meet Chicago's 7'6" habitable-basement headroom minimum.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
