Burnham as horse stables, the DuSable Museum’s 19th-century limestone and timber structure is now one of the South Side's most prominent cultural institutions.

"Near West SideCelebrate social change and activism Jane Addams was the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and the Hull-House Museum celebrates the social change she and her colleagues made in this very space in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Addams founded the Hull House as a social settlement for changemakers. The work that came out of the house includes initiatives for immigrants and juveniles."

"Founded in 1889, the Hull House brought together social reformers from around the country and world. Residents of the Hull House helped pass legislation and shifted public policy on education, health, free speech, immigration, fair labor and countless other social issues. Jane Addams, who founded the house, was the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize."

"Social reformer Jane Addams was one of the most influential people of her time. Her work helped immigrants and to shape national and international policy. The museum preserves the Nobel laureate’s legacy and helps further her vision through research, education, and social engagement."

The ballpark is famous for its ivy-covered brick walls in the outfield, its iconic red sign, the manually operated scoreboard, and its giant troughs in the men's bathroom."

The second-oldest ballpark in the nation after Boston’s Fenway Park, it is located on the North Side of Chicago, just fifteen minutes’ drive from the center. Named after the chewing gum magnate, it was built in 1914 and still has a lovely old time and look and feel."
