Biographical / Historical

The South Shore neighborhood is 9 miles southeast of the Loop. The neighborhood runs along the Lake from 67th Street south to 79th. The area was annexed into Chicago in 1889. South Shore is number 43 of the 77 official communities that make up Chicago.

Originally a swampy region, it was settled as a collection of settlements in the late nineteenth century in the southern part of Hyde Park Township. The settlements of Essex, Bryn Mawr, Parkside, Cheltenham Beach and Windsor Park were already around when the Illinois Central Railroad built the South Kenwood Station in 1881. It became known as South Shore in the 1920s.

Scope and Contents

The South Shore Community Collection contains manuscripts, printed material and photographs on businesses, clubs and organizations, religious institutions, residents, schools and street scenes in the community area.

Some materials of interest include genealogy notes on several early settlers, 1918 construction photographs of the North Michigan Avenue Bridge substructure by The Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company and South Shore Commission meeting materials.

The South Shore Historical Society's original description of the Glass Plate Slides in the collection can be found in Box 6, Folder 34. Many of these plates are duplicated in the photographic prints.
