Home to Chicago’s Polish Village, impressive examples of sacred and industrial architecture, and the legendary Olson Waterfall, Avondale is regularly tagged as “the neighborhood that built Chicago.” Images of The united states: Avondale and Chicago’s Polish Village sheds light at the little known history of the community, including its fascinating industrial past. From its beginnings as a sleepy subdivision began by a Michigan senator, it turned into a cultural mecca for Chicago’s Polish community, playing a a very powerful role in Poland’s struggles for independence. Other people often known as Avondale home, such as Scottish proprietors, African American freedmen, Irish activists, Swedish shopkeepers, German tradesmen, Jewish merchants, Filipino laborers, and Italian entrepreneurs; a diversity further enriched as many from the previous Soviet Bloc and Latin The united states settled here. As in other Chicago neighborhoods, change is the only constant, as the arts have brought a renaissance to this working-class corner of town.
