Description
In 1880 George M. Pullman of sleeping-car fame commissioned a planned, model town to be constructed eight miles south of Chicago in conjunction with his new factory. A forerunner of later "garden cities," Pullman was built with the aid of architects and landscape designers. It would ba a showplace for Pullman's Palace Car Company.
