Program
Old & New Design Along the Red Line
Join us as we travel south to 95th Street. We’ll explore residential neighborhoods from the early 1900s, as well as modern institutions serving South Side communities today.
The southern route of Chicago's Red Line 'L' runs near many striking, if lesser known, works of architecture and city planning that span more than 100 years of history. From residential sites to community institutions, we’ll explore buildings designed by Charles Frost, architect of Navy Pier; Studio Gang; and Moody Nolan, the country's largest African American-owned architecture firm. Enjoy this chance to ride the train from the comfort of your own home.
Presenter: Steve Redfield
Steven Redfield began studying architectural design and history in college but was diverted to a career in social services. His 30-year engagement in numerous Chicago neighborhoods deepened his passion for history and architecture outside the Loop. Redfield returned to his interest in architecture when he became a CAC docent in 2019.
