I am under contract for a 1994 SFH which was built by a developer. Where can I find the original architectural drawings? Building is in cook county Illinois. I've tried accessors office and recorders office

Unfortunately you probably won't find anything on a 1994 structure.  two other places to look are the city development services (who ever would have approved for permit) or the original developer.

I assume you are looking for the plans to either make structural changes and/or an addition?  If so find an inexpensive draftsman or an architecture student want to make a few bucks for the practice.
