Workers Cottages Of Oldtown Triangle Walking Tour


Explore the resilient spirit of Chicago through a captivating walking tour that traces the city’s remarkable transformation from the ashes of the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. Join me on a journey through the streets where history and architecture converge, showcasing the enduring charm of the iconic workers’ cottages. These humble dwellings, once flourishing before and after the fire, now face the threat of urban development.

Discover the unique designs and construction styles of these delightful cottages, each telling a story of Chicago’s architectural evolution. As demand for higher-density housing grows, the very essence of these historic homes is at risk. The tour will unveil not only individual cottages but also rare instances of entire blocks adorned with these charming structures.

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Chicago’s past as we delve into fascinating tales dating back 150 years and beyond. From the resilience born out of adversity to the architectural gems lining the streets, this walking tour promises a unique blend of history, design, and the captivating spirit of the Windy City.
