Discover the History of your Chicago House
– Tim Blackburn, Researcher
Ridge Historical Society is repeating this very popular event as we begin to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Ridge Historic District. You will learn how to research the history of your Chicago home, including the architecture, construction, inhabitants, and owners.
You’ll receive a workbook and develop research methods that will help you gain a new understanding and appreciation for your home’s history. Tim will cover the research methods covered will be useful for anyone researching a building older than 1955 in Chicago. You’ll learn about building permits, local history, Chicago street renumbering, Sanborn maps, and more.
The Ridge Communities of Beverly Hills, Morgan Park, Washington Heights and Mount Greenwood have an incredible collection of homes and housing styles – many with a rich history.
