EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed plan of a typical cottage in the planned community of Pullman, Illinois. Founded by George Pullman in 1885, this community was specifically designed to accommodate the workers of his railroad company. The line engraving, originating from the 19th century, offers us a glimpse into the architectural layout and design choices prevalent during that era. The cottage's floorplan reveals an interior space that exudes warmth and simplicity. Its late American style is evident through its charming features such as large windows allowing ample natural light to flood in and wooden accents adding a touch of rustic elegance. This dwelling perfectly captures the essence of comfortable living for the hardworking individuals who resided here. Situated in Chicago's Pullman neighborhood, this worker's cottage played an integral role in shaping both North and South sides of the city during its early development stages. It stands as a testament to George Pullman's vision for providing his employees with not only employment but also quality housing options. As we admire this historical artifact, it is important to acknowledge its significance beyond commercial use. This image serves as a reminder of how communities were built around industries back then - where employers took responsibility for their workers' well-being by creating purpose-built neighborhoods like Pullman.
