Maxwell Street remembers immigrant hopes and harsh tenements
The Maxwell Street district in Chicago is described as a crowded, filthy, disease ridden gateway for Jewish and other immigrants from 1880 to 1924. It housed sweatshops and crowded tenements with poor sanitation while offering a pathway to opportunity through families and notable descendants, including Arthur Goldberg, Samuel Paley, and Hyman Rickover, among many others.
