Between the 1860s and 1920s, Chicago's working-class immigrants designed the American dream of home-ownership, viewing homes as a consumer-oriented respite from work and a productive space they hoped to control. Spurred by ideas about the gendered respectability of domesticity, early city planning and land economics, Chicagoans helped create America's suburbanization.
