Please join APT WGLC on Thursday, January 16 for a two-part tour of the Pullman neighborhood in in south Chicago.

Revolution Workshop is an organization dedicated to building community through workforce development, and renewing existing/historic building stock in the process.
At 3 pm we will meet with Mike Shymanski, a longtime Pullman restoration advocate and resident at One Florence Boulevard (605 E. 111th St.). The Pullman at Home project represents vignettes of Pullman’s cultural and architectural history from its inception through the late 20th century. Mr. Shymanski will discuss the arc of preservation over the past 50 years and important lessons learned in working with materials and as well as approaches to public involvement.
