Property Description

Wentworth Gardens includes 343 units in Chicago's Armour Square community area. Commissioned in 1945, Wentworth Gardens was the last project built to house war-industry workers during the Second World War. Construction of this four-square-block development required the demolition of 20 structures, including the baseball park where the White Sox played until 1910. Today, the Sox's Guaranteed Rate Field is a neighbor of the completely rehabbed Wentworth Gardens.
