Video and Pictorial Study of all of Chicago's West Side
Marcy Center
A look at the now-razed Methodist Settlement House at 16th and Springfield in Chicago’s North Lawndale Area. duration: 3 min, 2 sec. credits: google maps, no profit intended.
I remember a small fish pond and garden. I think you could enter it through the chapel. I have wonderful memories of day camp…getting on a bus and going to adventures: A dairy, can’t remember the name, Cermak Pool, Brookfield Zoo and the Trailside Museum. Arts and crafts in the first floor activity rooms and the monkey bars. I remember Ms. Norbus…I’m sure I’m misspelling her name…she was sweet. Any other day campers out there? Thanks for the info, Larry.
I spend most of my childhood in and around there, played in the old sandbox. I lived at 1561 Springfield, in the old courtway building on the corner of 16th St. until 1971.
