Broadway is one of Chicago’s most heavily trafficked thoroughfares. Though little noted, it is lined with a dazzling array of fine buildings, ranging from its early days as a residential street to its glory days in the 1920s as the North Side Motor Row. With proposed upzoning by the City of Chicago, might some of these treasures be at elevated risk of demolition? Join EHS board members Thom Greene and John Holden for a visual tour of one Chicago’s most underappreciated boulevards. Click here for a flyer.
