ARCHITECTURAL STYLES AND TYPES IN BEVERLY HILLS-MORGAN PARK

THE ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCE CENTER
OF THE RIDGE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Many of the requests for information we receive at the Ridge Historical Society regard the history of individual homes. In order to make the process easier for residents, we have assembled the majority of our resource materials for local homes and architectural history into one area of Driscoll House called, The Architectural Resource Center. Individuals interested in researching the history of their home can visit the Ridge Historical Society during our public hours, or call to make an appointment with a Research Associate for other times. While basic research assistance is offered at no cost, larger research projects may involve some fees.

This online guide to researching your home's history is designed to get you started in the right direction, and to provide you with information regarding other resources available to you in your search. This information was obtained from various sources, including the Chicago Landmarks Commission and Jennifer Kenney of Historic Preservation Services. Photographs are courtesy of David Daruszka.
