Probably Chicago’s most successful housing project and the reason it stands today. Designed by the same architect that designed Marina City and River City, Bertrand Goldberg. There has always been two senior towers here, and that kept it safer than other housing projects. I’m a huge Goldberg fan, so they are inspiring for their curves. A cool design. I enjoy these buildings and hope you do too. Thanks.

Design began in 1963, with the increasing demand for affordable public housing and urban renewal projects growing in popularity throughout the country. Goldberg designed the structure to be supported almost exclusively by the outer shell, as opposed to Marina City, which was supported by its core. His opinion of other public housing projects was that they were developed in such a way as to punish residents for being poor; Goldberg wanted to design a home that residents would be proud of. Residents were vetted carefully and as a result, crime and social problems at Hilliard Homes were considerably lower than at other CHA housing projects. It was the only project never to require a uniformed police detail. The twin cylindrical towers were reserved for seniors and the two adjoining half-circle buildings were reserved for low-income families.
