The space Enjoy the entire 2nd Floor apartment of an original 1880's Pullman workers two flat row house.

Unique space with lots of original charm. 20-30 minutes to downtown Chicago via metra train or quick access to the highway. Located in the heart of the Pullman Landmark District (Now a National Monument and part of the US National Park Service!). Explore The Historic Pullman community via our Labor Tour guide (take a selfie while on tour and send it to us and we'll put it on our page! #mosnart). Walk to the Visitor Center and talk to a Park Ranger about the history of Pullman with interesting artifacts and more! Stroll through Arcade Park and gaze at the incredible restoration/renovations occurring at the Florence Hotel (and maybe witness an impromptu installation by our prolific Knit 'n Crochet group)... then meander down the street to be charmed by the architecture of the Greenstone Church, keep going and you will run into our new organic urban farm / food justice project (the Cooperation Operation). Hop on the Metra train (Metra Electric line) for a quick 20-30 min ride to all the downtown attractions Chicago has to offer (drops you at the center of everything; Millennium Park, Cultural Center, The Art Institute of Chicago...also stops at the Museum Campus (The Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum, The Field Museum, and The Shedd Aquarium), McCormick Place and Hyde Park U of C campus).

We invite artists from all over the world to come interact with the history, community, and architecture here by creating art installations of exceptional quality. NOTES ON PULLMAN: The Pullman community is located on the far south side of Chicago and is in my opinion one of the most interesting and diverse areas of the city. People come from all over the world to see the historical remains (incredibly intact) of an industrialists utopia once touted "the worlds most perfect town" (now a National Monument) and learn about Eugene V. Debs and our Labor History. It is not the gold coast or your typical Chicago tourist spot but is instead a multicultural community engaged in preservation, restoration and re-purpose/reuse. There is a big box super store within walking distance with some organics as well as an eccentric diner/restaurant for fluffy pancakes (breakfast/lunch), a small cafe across from the Greenstone Church (see menu in pics), and a new food hall on 111th street, but most of your shopping /dining will likely be outside of the community (Hyde Park is a short drive or train ride away with lots of dinning and shopping choices, etc). Pullman is truly unique and filled with charm (and only 20-30 mins to downtown Chicago). I'm pretty sure you will fall in love. Please contact to confirm availability and let me know a little about yourself. Ask all the questions you like! Free WiFi. Backyard. Kitchen w/ pots, pans, salad spinners, coffee maker/grinder, tea pot and dual high quality hot plate (no dishwasher). Organic salad garden (in season). Washer/Dryer (if you let me know in advance). Fully furnished apartment w/ most everything you need! Happy to show you around the neighborhood (if available and desired) and get you settled in. I'm just down the block if you need anything. Also text or phone. Public Transportation: The Metra Electric train runs from Pullman to the Chicago loop on a posted time schedule every few minutes during rush hours to once an hour during the rest of the day/evening Monday through Saturday and every two hours on Sunday.
