Forgotten Chicago Pilsen Walking Tour
Reprising a VIP tour conducted for the inaugural Chicago Architectural Biennial in October 2015, this expanded Forgotten Chicago tour will delve deeply into much of the overlooked built environment of Pilsen, one of Chicagos most dynamic neighborhoods, a pre-zoning nineteenth century Chicago neighborhood that developed alongside industrial growth and expansion. Pilsen has been subject to enormous development pressure in recent years, and this in-depth tour is a unique opportunity to see this dynamic neighborhood Forgotten Chicago-style, before more of its rich built environment and history is swept away.

On the tour, we will examine historic links between home, work and pleasure in this community with a rich ethnic history, including Czechs, Germans, and Latinos.  This tour will discuss the factories that attracted this diverse population, taverns that served as de facto social clubs for workers, and the housing stock that continues to serve waves of new immigrants.  Along the way, we hope that participants will gain new perspectives on how Pilsen has developed, changed, and continues to evolve today.
