Brick of Chicago Noble Square Neighborhood Walking Tour
On a Brick of Chicago neighborhood walking tour, you’ll learn about all the elements that make Chicago one of the most interesting and dynamic cities in the world. Afterwards, you’ll never look at the built world (or the humble brick) the same way again!
Brick of Chicago neighborhood walking tours have been voted one of Chicago’s best tours by Curbed and the Chicago Reader.
Pulaski Park and Noble Square lie just to the east of Wicker Park and feature an incredible cross section of Chicago’s early brick history – from a city rebuilt after the fire with common clay, to metropolis of brick culled from sources around the country.
Moreso, Pulaski Park and Noble Square present an unparalleled view of Chicago’s use of brick and terra cotta in the Victorian era. Victorian brickwork features polychromatic brickwork, intricate corbelling, and enormous swirling terra cotta decorations. After this tour, you’ll see the city and the humble brick with new eyes!
After this tour you’ll never look at Chicago or the humble brick in the same way again!
