CHICAGO / 45TH STREET & INDIANA

Windows for the rooms behind them.

4500–4514 South Indiana · F7 · October 10, 2026

The long missing-window stretches have been replaced with openings coordinated to each upper apartment and each occupied ground-floor street room. Both identified 45th Street living rooms now have direct windows. Five common-area windows bring light to bike, mail and lobby areas.

Upper street frontage	Largest gap before	Largest gap now	Windows per floor
45th Street	19.7 ft	7.5 ft	12
Indiana Avenue	18.3 ft	9.0 ft	12

Clear masonry between opening edges, measured on the saved concept. Bay projections and chamfer faces are excluded from these straight-frontage comparisons.

Street elevations

45th Street F7 window elevation — Two 19.7-ft upper gaps are resolved; the ground-floor corner frontage includes separate living-room, bike-room, mail and lobby glazing.

Indiana Avenue F7 window elevation — The 18.3-ft upper gap is resolved. The north ground-floor electrical reservation retains a solid wall; the south bike room gains a window.

Plans coordinated with the model

Ground-floor room plan with F7 street windows — **Ground floor.** Teal windows serve rooms; ochre windows serve common areas. Street entrances are rust. G-B1a and G-B1b living rooms each receive a window.

Typical upper-home allocation plan with F7 street windows — **Upper floors.** Bays stay within each home allocation. Complete upper room fitting remains to be resolved.

What was checked

Complete opening spans fit their home or common area and, where drawn, the intended ground-floor room. Openings avoid cores, party walls and doors; masonry cuts and glazing use the same schedule. Saved building plates, stair cores, galleries, apartment areas and the 46-home study count are retained. No new survey was supplied.

Window, bay and common-area glazing specifications and costs remain unverified. Existing corner-envelope exceptions, detailed room/access fit and approvals remain open. This is a coordinated concept revision.
