1000 sq ft two bedroom one bathroom octagonal front Chicago bungalow

Welcome to a new little series I like to call “drawing Chicago bungalow floor plans I’ve walked through, from memory.” These are (very obviously) not professional architectural drawings but rather quick sketches done in Adobe Illustrator. Exteriors of Chicago bungalows are often deceiving because one would assume by seeing a row of nearly identical bungalows that the interiors and floor plans are identical too, right? But that’s simply not true! We’ll start with a bungalow I know very well and love. You can compare the pictures from this post to the floor plan here for the full picture.

The interior layout of this bungalow was altered sometime in the mid-century to remove the pantry from the kitchen.

This is a re-imagining of what the original layout would have looked like before modification (based on markings found on the floor during the kitchen renovation).
