The council placed two homes, one run down and the other modernized on the island at Wacker and Wabash. The claim was that the dilapidated home could be modernized in one day to look like the shining, gleaming cottage displayed.</p> <p>When money did not materialize for this project, the council helped pass the Illinois Housing Act, which, along with the federal Housing Act of 1937, led to the first public housing projects built in the city.</p>http://calumet412.com/post/52796497911http://calumet412.com/post/52796497911Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:25:25 -0500chicagochicago history1930'surban planningcityhousingpublic housinglievbengever
