Dearborn Homes is a Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) public housing project located in the Bronzeville neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. It is located on State Street between 27th and 30th Streets. It is one of only two housing projects that still exist from the State Street Corridor which included other CHA developments: Robert Taylor Homes, Stateway Gardens, Harold Ickes Homes and Hillard Homes. The project occupies 16 acres and consists of mid-rise, six-story, and nine-story buildings.〔(Dearborn Homes ), Chicago Housing Authority〕 They were designed in modernist style by Loebl, Schlossman & Bennett, with cruciform towers to allow for ventilation and light, placed in a parklike setting.〔Blair Kamin, ("CHA architecture gets it right with Dearborn Homes: New limestone decorations transform the buildings from hulking to inviting, and the update has improved the interior too," ) Cityscapes, ''Chicago Tribune'', May 22, 2009; repr. "CHA Polishes Its Rough Edges: Architect dresses up the Dearborn Homes, Georgian Style, and Upgrades Living Spaces Inside," in Blair Kamin, ''Terror and Wonder: Architecture in a Tumultuous Age'', Chicago: University of Chicago, 2010, ISBN 9780226423135, pp. (244 )–47.〕〔D. Bradford Hunt, ''Blueprint for Disaster: The Unraveling of Chicago Public Housing'', Historical studies of urban America, Chicago: University of Chicago, 2009, ISBN 9780226360850, (p. 123 ).〕〔''Progressive Architecture'' 52 (1981) (57 ).〕 There were 800 units.〔〔Donna Leinwand, ("Raids target gang ring behind deadly heroin," ) ''USA Today'', June 22, 2006.〕 ==History== Dearborn was the first Chicago housing project built after World War II, as housing for blacks on part of the Federal Street slum within the "black belt".〔 It was the start of the Chicago Housing Authority's post-war use of high-rise buildings to accommodate more units at a lower overall cost,〔Hunt, pp. (123 )–(24 )〕 and when it opened in 1950, the first to have elevators.〔〔 While still unfinished, it was used to receive lower-income residents displaced by redevelopment;〔Arnold R. Hirsch, ''Making the Second Ghetto: Race and Housing in Chicago, 1940–1960'', Cambridge/London: Cambridge University, 1983; repr. Historical studies of urban America, Chicago: University of Chicago, 1998, ISBN 9780226342467, (p. 123 ).〕 half the buildings were also increased in height by three floors when more money became available during construction.〔Hunt, (p. 124 ).〕 The buildings soon fell victim to vandalism; in 1958 a ''Chicago American'' reporter visited Dearborn and wrote of "torn window screens, mutilated storm doors, yards littered with garbage, . . . walls, doors, and casings marked by knife slashes and crayon marks; holes gouged in plaster; () obscenities scrawled on the stairway walls".〔qtd. in Hunt, (p. 156 ).〕
