Julia C. Lathrop Homes, Public housing complex on Chicago's North Side, United States.
The Julia C. Lathrop Homes spans 35.5 acres with brick row houses and apartment buildings connected by archways and surrounded by landscaped courtyards.
Built between 1933 and 1936 as part of the New Deal public works projects, this development represented one of Chicago's first federal housing initiatives.
The complex evolved from a segregated housing project to become an integrated neighborhood, reflecting changing social dynamics in Chicago's public housing system.
The renovation completed in 2019 created 414 modern residences with updated amenities while maintaining the original architectural elements of the buildings.
The property features an 11-acre green space with a riverside walking path, kayak launch, and Elizabeth Wood Park for community recreation.
