East Side, Chicago

Trumbull Park is a public park at 2400 E. 105th Street in the South Deering neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The South Park Commission opened the park in 1907 as part of its efforts to bring parks to dense immigrant neighborhoods with little green space. The park's fieldhouse and other facilities were not completed until the 1910s; around this time, the park was officially named for Lyman Trumbull, a United States Senator from Illinois who co-wrote the Thirteenth Amendment. While the park and its facilities were designed in-house by the South Park Commission, they were inspired by the designs of landscape architects the Olmsted Brothers and architecture firm D. H. Burnham and Company used in many of the South Park Commission's other parks. The fieldhouse in particular has a Beaux-Arts design which calls back to Burnham's work for the 1893 Columbian Exposition.The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1995.

South Deering, located on Chicago's far South Side, is the largest of the 77 official community areas of that city. Primarily an industrial area, a small residential neighborhood exists in the northeast corner and Lake Calumet takes up a large portion of the area. 80% of the community area is zoned as industrial, natural wetlands, or parks. The remaining 20% is zoned for residential and small-scale commercial uses. It is part of the 10th Ward, once under the control of former Richard J. Daley ally Alderman Edward Vrdolyak. The neighborhood is named for Charles Deering, an executive in the Deering Harvester Company that would later form a major part of International Harvester.

The original Calumet Bakery store, a South Side favorite since 1935, is located at 2510 E 106th St, Chicago, IL 60617. It was also the location of the Wisconsin Steel Works, originally the Joseph H. Brown Iron and Steel Company, which opened in 1875 and closed in 1980. Since the closing of the steel mill, the neighborhood has remained economically depressed. Louis Rosen documented the racial transition of this and nearby communities in his 1998 book The South Side: The Racial Transformation of an American Neighborhood.
