Tour


 
This tour hopes to orient the viewer to the history of the Old Town Triangle Neighborhood, located in the greater Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Over the last century, the neighborhood has been transformed from a ethnically diverse, working-class enclave of single-family homes and independent businesses to a neighborhood of young urban professionals living in high-rent apartments, luxury condominiums, and gated communities. What influenced these changes? What was lost and what was gained? How will the neighborhood look at the end of the next century? Continue through the neighborhood's history in words and pictures to find the answers.
