John Morris/Chicago Patterns
On the 4500 block of Vincennes in Bronzeville are two sets of twin greystones–one pair is more Classically styled and the other is more Romanesque. These homes are part of an enclave of city firefighters and police officers, and many that live in the neighborhood have been here for generations.

Our Lady of Sorrows interior. John Morris/Chicago Patterns
At Jackson and Albany in East Garfield Park is Our Lady of Sorrows, one of three basilicas in the city. Like many churches and places of worship, the real effort in design and implementation went toward the inside rather than the outside of the structure.
The interior has one of the most spectacular displays of color, geometry, depth, and detail I’ve seen in a building.
