The Pullman District, as it has been designated on the list of Chicago Landmarks, or Pullman Historic District, as it has been designated on the National Register of Historic Places, was the first model, planned industrial community in the United States.[3] The district is significant for its historical origins in the Pullman Company, one of the most famous company towns in the United States, and scene of the violent 1894 Pullman strike. It was built for George Pullman in an area that was then beyond the City of Chicago, Illinois city limits as a place to produce the famous Pullman sleeping car.
The district includes the Pullman factory and the Hotel Florence, once operated by Pullman's daughter, now run by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. The area is east of Cottage Grove Avenue, from East 103rd St. to East 115th St.[4] It is located in what is now the Pullman community area of Chicago. It was named a Chicago Landmark district on October 16, 1972.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 8, 1969 and declared a National Historic Landmark on December 30, 1970.[2]
Preservationists had hoped to extend the district to include Schlitz Row, but the Taverns located there have been demolished.[5]
