Largely built between 1890 and 1930, its residential styles include Carpenter Gothic, English Manor, Colonial Revival and Prairie School, including designs by Walter Burley Griffin and Frank Lloyd Wright. Come explore the colorful past and continued solidarity of this historic South Side area tucked away between Comiskey Park and the Chicago River. Between 1910 and 1940 over 80,000 Chicago bungalows were built in the city. Two tours have been developed to showcase this historic residential style. One will go north, the other south, and each will look at the particular bungalow type within the context of commercial, religious, and recreational spaces.
