Book Description
Excerpt from Real Estate Values and Historical Notes of Chicago: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time The origin, development and present condition of the City of Chicago, when compared to that of other great s on the globe, would seem to present sufficient grounds for a history of no small magnitude. It is not the purpose, however, of the writer of this volume to bring forth a full and complete history of Chicago, but rather a collection of notes on history together with numerous tables of real estate values, statistics, etc., which shall be at once not only a guide, instructor and ready reference for the business man, but as well, a compilation of ideas and information entertain ing to all. For a considerable amount of information relating to the early history of Chicago we are indebted to such works as Andreas' History of Chicago, Moses and Kirkland's History of Chicago, Industrial Chicago, and the Fergus publications. Other information was obtained from interviews held with old settlers, personal observations, etc. The tables of real estate values contain a partial list of actual transactions in sales and leases made during the last ten years of the nineteenth century. The tables of square foot and front foot values represent vacant property only. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Between the 1860s and 1920s, Chicago's working-class immigrants designed the American dream of home-ownership. They imagined homes as small businesses, homes that were simultaneously a consumer-oriented respite from work and a productive space that workers hoped to control. Stretching out of town along with Chicago's assembly-line factories, Chicago's early suburbs were remarkably socially and economically diverse. They were marketed by real estate developers and urban boosters with the elusive promise that homeownership might offer some bulwark against the vicissitudes of industrial capitalism, that homes might be "better than a bank for a poor man" and "the working man's reward." This promise evolved into what Lewinnek terms "the mortgages of whiteness," the hope that property values might increase if that property could be kept white. Suburbs also developed through nineteenth-century notions of the gendered respectability of domesticity, early ideas about city planning and land economics, and an evolving twentieth-century discourse about the racial attributes of property values. Looking at the persistent challenges of racial difference, economic inequality, and private property ownership that were present in urban design and planning from the start, Lewinnek argues that white Americans' attachment to property and community were not simply reactions to post-1945 Civil Rights Movement and federally enforced integration policies. Rather, Chicago's mostly immigrant working class bought homes, seeking an elusive respectability and class mobility, and trying to protect their property values against what they perceived as African American threats, which eventually flared in violent racial conflict. The Working Man's Reward examines the roots of America's suburbanization in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, showing how Chicagoans helped form America's urban sprawl.
