- joezydeco 7y agoYeah I should have clarified. The buildings downtown could afford to be lifted to the new street level. Homes outside of downtown that couldn't or wouldn't do the lift had to build new entrances on their upper floor. Many of these homes still exist today. http://chicagopatterns.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/damen-8-900x600.jpg http://chicagopatterns.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/damen-...
