What Cook County does
to a home appliance.

Where home appliances sit in Cook County: older housing stock, built-in and paneled suites, mixed housing.

All of Chicago

Older housing stock

Older houses were not built around modern appliances, and a dryer or a hood there may exhaust through an opening cut decades ago in a thick wall, so upkeep traces that path to the outside and cleans it from end to end.

Built-in and paneled suites

Heavy custom door panels load the hinges of built-in refrigerators and dishwashers over the years, so an upkeep visit checks hinge tension and door alignment, since a door that sags no longer presses its gasket evenly.

Mixed housing

Streets where old and new houses stand side by side hold appliances of every age, and a maintenance visit sorts them by age first, because a decade-old unit and last year's model follow different care chapters.

Glencoe

Glencoe incorporated in 1869 and grew after developer Walter S.

Gold Coast

Gold Coast high-rises book elevator time for every service call, and their kitchens and laundry closets live through dry, overheated winters, so a maintenance visit there is scheduled with the building and checks the door seals and hoses that dry heat stiffens.

Lakeview

Lakeview's courtyard buildings and two-flats put many small kitchens and older laundries under one roof, and maintenance there often covers several units in one trip, with each unit's refrigerator coils, hood filters and lint screens logged on its own.

Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park greystones and two-flats often keep a shared basement laundry, where two households' machines use one floor drain and one exhaust wall, so maintenance there clears both lint paths and checks the drain and hoses for the whole building.

Near North Side

The Gold Coast section of the Near North Side took shape after 1885, when merchant Potter Palmer built a lakefront mansion on Lake Shore Drive that drew Chicago's wealthy north from Prairie Avenue.

Oak Park

Oak Park's Prairie School and Queen Anne houses keep their exteriors under preservation review, which makes a new dryer outlet or hood cap on a facade harder to add, so the existing exhaust routes there are cleaned and kept working rather than moved.

River Forest

River Forest traces its earliest development to a steam sawmill built on the Des Plaines River's east bank in 1831, with two families, the Thatchers and the Quicks, developing the west and east sections through the 1850s.

West Loop / Near West Side

The West Loop was built up as a manufacturing and warehousing district, and many of its brick and heavy-timber warehouse buildings have since been converted into loft condominiums, restaurants and galleries rather than torn down.

Wilmette

Wilmette incorporated as a village on September 19, 1872, and the neighboring Village of Gross Point stayed separate until it was annexed in the mid-1920s after going bankrupt.

Winnetka

Winnetka's architect-designed houses often hold built-in kitchens renovated over decades, and the village's own electric utility serves them, so maintenance there reads each built-in's data plate, cleans its coil and grille and keeps its hinges aligned under heavy custom panels.

BeverlyBeverly became a streetcar suburb after the Blue Island Land and Building Company began developing it in 1869, and today 78.7% of its homes are single-family detached, far above the citywide average.

EvanstonEvanston became a town in 1863 and grew as one of the first streetcar suburbs after the Civil War, earning the nickname "The City of Homes" by the 1920s for its varied residential architecture.
GlenviewGlenview incorporated in 1899 and stayed mostly farmland until postwar developers reshaped it into a suburb, and the former Naval Air Station Glenview, closed in 1995, was redeveloped into the mixed-use "Glen" district covering about 15% of the village.
La GrangeLa Grange incorporated in 1879 after Franklin Dwight Cossitt platted it as a planned suburban village, and its historic district today includes more than 1,000 late-19th and early-20th-century buildings.
NorthbrookNorthbrook incorporated in 1901 as "Shermerville" with just 60 houses, renaming itself in 1923, and kept its last working farm, Wayside Farm, in operation until 1987.
Park RidgePark Ridge incorporated in 1873 and got its start as a brick-making center for Chicago, drawing on local clay deposits, before its name changed from the earlier Pennyville and Brickton.
West TownWest Town's Wicker Park section, centered on a 4-acre park platted in 1870, became a Chicago Landmark District in 1991, while neighboring Ukrainian Village gained landmark protection in 2002.
Western SpringsWestern Springs incorporated in 1886 by a narrow 34-to-25 vote, after the Western Springs Land Association bought land in 1870 and the 1863 railroad arrival filled in much of the area's original swampland.
