Bronzeville /Black Chicagoan Historical Society was housed at Hotel Florence 2007 to 2011, then moved to Stephen A. Douglas Tomb Site until 2017. This is great news! Yes, all Illinois State Historic Sites need support.

After decades of proposals floating around to get the Pullman structure back on its feet, Gov. JB Pritzker has announced a plan to restore and reopen the red brick colossus.
