Chicago Commons history
Chicago Commons company history timeline
Introduction: Chicago Commons was established in the fall of 1894 and modeled on Hull House.
Chicago Commons continues it’s mission, begun in 1894
To build opportunities for the neighborhood’s residents, Chicago Commons opened one of the city’s earliest kindergartens in 1897.
A principal outgrowth of the Commons is the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy, founded (1903) by Professor Taylor who has continued to be its president.
In 1908 it was incorporated as an independent school.
“Underlying this word ‘Commons’…is the idea of sharing what each can be to all and what all can be to each, what belongs to no person or class exclusively, but to everyone, to the whole people of the community or nation.” – Graham Taylor, Chicago Commons Founder, 1934
