# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Talks@EHC The History of Chicago Homes, and What They Need Now
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 19 May, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Older Chicagoland homes were built to solve the problems of yesterday, but what do they need to thrive today? Join American Vintage Home for an engaging look at Chicago-area home history and the current homeowner challenges that older buildings often present. What was the reason for common original design choices such as radiators under windows, galvanized pipe, and basements? How can the average homeowner address the challenges that these same features create today, such as inefficient heat loss, inconsistent moisture, airflow and air quality issues, and aging systems that lead to water quality issues? We’ll focus on what the average homeowner can realistically do to preserve the character of older homes while improving comfort and efficiency.

With Vicki Parker and Cornelius Muszczynski in partnership with American Vintage Home Community Education Series 

In person at the Dawes House, 225 Greenwood St
