Park Ridge Youth Campus
Park Ridge Youth Campus, Former school and orphanage in Park Ridge, United States
The Park Ridge Youth Campus spans across several buildings, including three preserved historic structures within the current Prospect Park setting.
The institution originated in 1877 as the Illinois Industrial School for Girls in Evanston before relocating to Park Ridge in 1908.
The architectural firm Holabird & Roche, designers of numerous Chicago landmarks, created eight buildings that earned National Register of Historic Places status.
Visitors can explore the Solomon Cottage, now functioning as the Park Ridge History Center, which displays exhibits about the institution's past.
Julius Rosenwald, a notable philanthropist, provided substantial funding for multiple campus buildings during the facility's early development phase.
