Henry Horner Homes, Public housing development in Near West Side, Chicago, US.
The complex consisted of 16 high-rise buildings with 920 units built in 1957 and additional 737 multi-story units added in 1961.
The Chicago Housing Authority initiated demolition in 1995, with the final mid-rise structure removed in 2008 to make way for mixed-income housing.
Alex Kotlowitz documented life in Henry Horner Homes through his book 'There Are No Children Here', later adapted into a television film.
The final redevelopment phase introduces 96 mixed-income apartments in a 12-story building with community rooms, bike storage, and business facilities.
The Henry Horner Mother's Guild, founded in 1983, received $88,000 in foundation support for community initiatives and youth programs.
