Tour Albany Park on Saturday April 2 on your bike and see some bungalows that are on the National Register of Historic Places.
Community Area #14, Albany Park is located 8 miles northwest of the Loop. In very short fashion, this community grew from rural farmland to a vibrant urban neighborhood that today is one of the most diverse areas in the entire United States. The area became home to many convenient forms of transportation and as a result experienced a significant building boom in the early 20th century. This boom brought to neighborhoods in Albany Park like Mayfair, North Mayfair and Ravenswood Manor a stock of well-built and sturdy brick flats and bungalows, but a ride through the streets of Albany Park will also reveal exciting and unique commercial districts, and well-planned and plentiful green space. Join us for a relaxed ride through Albany Park and learn a bit about its history and architecture. Rides are $10.
