Garden Homes Historic District, Historic residential district in Chatham neighborhood, Chicago, United States.

The Garden Homes Historic District contains 152 residential buildings with brick cottages and stucco duplexes designed by architect Charles Sumner Frost in 1919-1920.

The Chicago Housing Association, formed by 22 Chicago businessmen including J. Ogden Armour and William Wrigley Jr, developed this area as the first large housing project.

The district represents an early solution to the post-World War I housing crisis, moving residents from crowded tenements to spacious family homes with garden spaces.

The 40-acre district maintains its original urban planning structure, providing residents with large lots and garden spaces while offering easy access to downtown Chicago.

Each house features extra land designated specifically for gardens, creating an integrated green space system throughout the residential development.
