Open House Chicago includes the West Town community area
Of the 200 cool places to visit during the two-day Open House Chicago (OHC*) annual architecture event put on by the Chicago Architecture Foundation (CAF) on Oct. 15 and 16, there will be eighteen open in Chicago's West Town Community Area. Six of those are in the Ukrainian Village.
This free event is an opportunity for everyone to experience some of the most wonderful architecture in the world, right here in Chicago.
While Chicago's West Town community goes from Kinzie on the south to Bloomingdale on the north, its eastern boundary is along the River and the western boundary is a bit more jagged.
One of the neighborhoods within West Town is the Ukrainian Village
