Wow, ok I didn't know there were 7x9 bedrooms in Chicago, those are like Manhattan tenements. I guess they are like that in some of the southside tenement neighborhoods.
I've got a 1890 2 bedroom apartment on a 25 foot lot, and my bedrooms are 15x7 but tapers to 15x9 halfway down, its a weird shape as there was a light well cut into the side of a wood frame building even though there are gangways between the buildings. And a 12x9 bedroom. I use the 15x9 and that's plenty of space. 7x9 sounds like a child's rooms.
I also put up some custom compo wall ornamentation to make it look more historical and fit with a gilded age style. I think it looks like a European palace now. I'd put up some photos but it's a pain in the butt to post pictures here.
