The neighboring Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion was evacuated as a precaution, but the nursing home did not catch fire.
The house where the fire broke out is part of the Logan Square Boulevards historic district, and a photo of it appears on the Chicago Landmarks web page for the district. The district's buildings were largely constructed between 1880 and 1930 with a variety of distinctive architectural styles.
Real estate websites say the building where the fire broke out was built in 1893.
The fire was out by 4:25 p.m. No one was hurt.
