"Typical Goose Island Residence," 1891
|
Against a backdrop of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad and the smokestacks of local industries, Goose Island residents still appeared to live in small, one-room shanties and to raise geese and goats. By this point, evidence points to more familiar Chicago cottages and two-flats on Hickory, North Branch, and Cherry Streets.
