Bronzeville
Bronzeville Living
Bronzeville has a rich cultural and architectural history.
In its heyday, the South Side neighborhood was home to a host of famous musicians, intellectuals, artists, and writers such as Louis Armstrong, Ida B. Wells, and Gwendolyn Brooks.
Today, Bronzeville is experiencing a renewal as residents rediscover the neighborhood located in close proximity to Lake Michigan and downtown Chicago.
Bronzeville also boasts a variety of restaurants, cafes, and art galleries that add to its appeal. Restored landmarks such as the Parkway Ballroom, as well as public art throughout the community, serve as reminders of the neighborhood's artistic background.
