The Story

In 2006, Nick and Barb discovered Historic Pullman.  Pullman is a neighborhood of Chicago on the far South Side.  In the hunt for the perfect starter home, they saw the home of their dreams.  The Pullman Greystone Mansion.  A home that was completely out of their league.

Nick and Barb found a sweet workman's cottage only blocks for the Greystone and made it their home. But Nick never forgot.  He had a picture in his wallet of the Greystone and was frequently reminded that all his hard work will one day get him this house.

On December 28 2012, that day came.  Nick and Barb bought the Greystone and then started their greatest adventure yet-renovation

This blog is the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into a complete renovation and rehab of a 1892 Chicago Mansion.
