Welcome to Gladstone Park: Hidden Gem of Northwest Chicago, a website celebrating life in an extraordinary Chicago community that few people know exists. Located in the most livable, culturally-rich large city in America, its safe and vibrant one square mile neighborhood borders on Forest Preserves, overlooks a golf course, and feels like the kind of small town you wish you grew up in.
Hundreds of photographs and accompanying text focus on Gladstone Park’s history; its vintage architecture; the community’s stores, restaurants, churches, schools, and parks; and what life’s like in the community. It is meant to be a resource as well as a historical document about how we got here; how we grew; and how the customs, beliefs and practices that make Gladstone Park unique evolved over time.
