Dominic Pacyga and Ellen Skerrett explore the neighborhoods and communities that make Chicago one of the most diverse cities in the country in their 1986 book, Chicago: City of Neighborhoods.

Each chapter examines the history of the people and institutions of the community, with a focus on the origins and development of the neighborhood and ends with a walking tour that highlights buildings and monuments integral to any experience of the neighborhoods. 

The histories of four neighborhoods and their respective walking tours have been digitized in their entirety:  the Loop, the Lower West Side, Washington Park, and the South Lakefront.  The histories and tours are accompanied by the historical and contemporary images provided in the original text.
