Swift Mansion

The former home of meatpacking magnate Gustavus Swift at 4510 S. Michigan Ave. also housed the Chicago Urban League before it moved next door in the 1970s. The current home of the Inner City Youth and Adult Foundation was constructed in 1892.

 

NOTE: The building, which had been put up for sale in 2017, suffered significant damage from two fires in December 2023.

 

The photograph was taken during the Chicago Architecture Foundation’s Open House Chicago.
