What Gold Coast does
to a range hood.

Potter Palmer's move to the area in 1882, and the 42-room castle-like mansion he built there, helped the Gold Coast grow after the Great Chicago Fire.

The Edward G. Pauling Apartments of 1886, by Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan, were the neighborhood's first apartment house, on Astor Street's 1200 block.

Landmarks in the Gold Coast Historic District include the James Charnley House and the homes of Astor Street.

About 72 percent of housing units in ZIP code 60610 are in 50-plus-unit structures, and electric and gas heat split its occupied homes almost evenly, near 47 and 46 percent.

Tower living

Tower apartments seldom let an owner cut a new opening in the facade, so the range hood recirculates through charcoal or ties into the building's own exhaust, and a hood that stopped clearing smoke often has spent charcoal or a closed damper in that shared run.

Older housing stock

In plaster-and-lath walls a heavy chimney hood needs its bracket in solid framing, and one that has begun to lean away from the wall is not cooked under until a technician has fastened it again.

Custom hoods and inserts

Specified hoods from European makers use boards, lights and blowers that only those makers supply, so the hood's rating plate, usually behind the grease filters, is read when the visit is booked.

When a range hood
cannot wait in Gold Coast.

In Gold Coast as anywhere, these five mean nobody cooks beneath the range hood until a technician has looked at it: a grease fire in the pan or the hood, sparks from the blower or the lights, a hot electrical smell, a breaker that trips, or a hood coming away from the wall or the ceiling.
