Unity Hall, Social clubhouse in Douglas, Chicago, US.
The red brick building at 3140 South Indiana Avenue features terra cotta decorations, sheet metal edging, and distinct architectural elements from the 1880s.
Constructed in 1887 as the Lakeside Club for Jewish social gatherings, Unity Hall became the headquarters of the Peoples Movement Club in 1917.
The building played a central role in African-American politics when Oscar Stanton De Priest established it as a base for organizing the Black community.
Unity Hall stands as part of the Black Metropolis-Bronzeville Historic District and received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1986.
The structure marks the political foundation where the first African-American U.S. Representative from northern states began his groundbreaking career.
