Chrysler Village, Chicago

Chrysler Village, Chicago

Chrysler Village is on the eastern edge of the Chicago neighborhood of Clearing nestled between Midway Airport and the Clearing Industrial District. Beginning at Lavergne Avenue on the east and extending to Long Avenue on the West the sturdy brick single family, duplex and townhouse homes surround Lawler Park and were constructed in 1943 during World War II to house the Chrysler Defense Plant workers building the B29 Bomber Engines in the huge plant later housing the Ford Aircraft Engine Division, builders of the B52 Bomber Engines and now known as Ford City.

A member of the George Hill Hardware Company family published in 1983 a fine history of Clearing with great detail including Chrysler Village. "A little known story of the land called Clearing" by Robert Milton Hill (Author and Publisher)
