Pullman, Planned industrial community area on South Side of Chicago, US.
Pullman is a planned industrial settlement on the South Side of Chicago in Cook County, United States. The streets run between 103rd and 115th Streets and display Victorian brick buildings, green spaces, and community facilities.
George Pullman founded the settlement in 1880 for workers of his railroad car factory. The strike of 1894 fundamentally changed the relationship between workers and companies throughout the United States.
The Hotel Florence once served as the social center and now houses a museum that offers insight into the daily life of railroad workers. The former factory hall still stands and shows the original brick architecture of the industrial era.
Two Metra Electric Line stations connect the area to downtown, with express trains stopping at Kensington/115th Street station. Most historic buildings are privately owned, but the main streets and museum are freely accessible during the day.
The Greenstone Church was built from a single serpentinite stone quarried from nearby sources. This construction method is extremely rare in the region and gives the building an unusual greenish color.

Chicago is explored as a mosaic of neighborhoods, parks, and towers, each telling a part of its story. The city reveals itself through reflections on Lake Michigan, glass facades rising above the river, and museums among the richest in the United States. The journey takes you from a public garden resembling an art gallery to a platform attached to a tower, then to a shopping avenue with architecture competing with storefronts. Cultural centers, iconic stadiums, and ethnic neighborhoods add further dimensions to this urban landscape. Here is a selection of places that show Chicago as it is lived, amidst height, culture, and daily energy.
