The bigger problem with wireless doorbells is that they just don't work very well and die quickly or don't pick up signals. My parents broke down and had one wired in after a series of wireless sys...
The space looks very 50's to me, even if the detail is more now or 60's in conception (the dropped lights with the soft projections). Reminds me of a sci-fi set or the Smithson's House of the Futur...
The Cesca & Clones was the stereotype of the 70's and 80's - even the Conners had them (I think) - you could buy them at KMart even. Just shows that popular taste can include high style & concept f...
The rental market in Chicago is dead right now, many unethical investors can't cover their expenses. I find the advice, in fact, somewhat unethical (which is too kind a term for apartment services....

Frank Lloyd Wright got into radiant heat via Korean (via Japan) and used it in his later houses, as did the Keck Brothers (Chicago area modernists). There are a large number of mid-century complexe...
