🙌 YOU ASKED, WE’RE GOING BACK!
🏛️✨ PRAIRIE AVENUE: MANSIONS, MOGULS & THE CHICAGO GILDED AGE! 🎩🌆
We had such a great time exploring Prairie Avenue that we’re doing it again! 🙌
Once known as “the sunny street that held the sifted few,” Prairie Avenue was home to Chicago’s wealthiest families during the spectacular Gilded Age. 🎩✨
We’ll stroll past surviving mansions, landmark churches, hidden architectural gems, and sites connected to Chicago’s industrial giants, including George Pullman, Marshall Field, and Philip Armour. 🏛️🌆
Come walk, learn, explore, and discover the fascinating stories behind one of Chicago’s most historic neighborhoods! Perfect for architecture lovers, history buffs,
photographers, and curious Chicagoans. 😊
