Chicago Photographed from Ray Knabenshue's Dirigible Air Ship, 1914 Tenement housing  was established in Chicago throughout the late 19th and into the early 20th centuries. A majority of tenement complexes in Chicago were constructed in the interest of using land space and boosting the economy. These tenements were built quite tall, often exceeding 3 stories, to accommodate as many low-income tenants as possible.Hunter, Robert. Tenement Conditions in Chicago. Chicago : City Homes Association, (1901): 88. URL This was possible as Chicago had not set a height limit to residential buildings, allowing landlords to create towering, cramped buildings with many rooms to create as much revenue as possible. By the beginning of the 20th century, tenement housing in Chicago was generally divided based on ethnicity, including sections such as Polish, African American, Italian, and Greek Tenement neighborhoods.Garb, Margaret.
