Using Elmhurst as a case study, this original exhibit takes visitors on an exploration of the diverse architectural styles of the western suburbs. From bungalows and prairie style residences to turn-of-the-century Victorians, Sears mail order homes and more, Dwellings tells the architectural story of the neighborhoods in the Elmhurst area and explains how the city evolved as a classic example of Midwestern suburbanization.
