Activity itinerary

Old Town Triangle
  • 2h
This tour will show you 40-50 of these delightful workers' cottages and the different styles they were designed and constructed in. Also, you will see some very rare instances where there are several in a row or in one case, an entire block of cottages on both sides of the street! This is what Chicago looked like in the late 1800's and prior to the Great Fire of 1871. Many of my photos of these cottages have been featured on the Bob Vila website as well as many major architectural accounts on Instagram and other Chicago based "things to do and see" websites. Plus you will see many other notable historic properties and hear about some fascinating Chicago history that dates back 150 years and beyond!
