Please help me identify style of my row house!

Since we bought our house three years ago I have been curious about what style of row house it is since it doesn't fit into any style category I've seen in old house manuals/books. It seems to take characteristics from several styles and I've written it off as "eclectic". According to the Sanborn maps we had two more (different) row houses attached when it was built. It was built sometime between 1885 and 1889 and is located in Chicago. The front is comprised of rough-cut redstone (not brownstone, unfortunately) and the grey decoration seems to be metal.

Anyone have any ideas? I have no personal photos so have attached an (hopefully useful) internet photo from well before we bought the house. Any insight would be appreciated, and please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
