Exhibit at Saint Ignatius College Prep
Maxwell Street Foundation board and advisory council members pose in front of an exhibit of the 1822 portraits of Dr. Philip Maxwell, the early Chicago physician for whom Maxwell Street was named, and (not visible in photo) his wife Jerusha and mounted architectural fragments from buildings that once comprised the old Maxwell Street neighborhood. Collaboratively developed with Saint Ignatius College Prep, the exhibit opened April 26, 2018 and will be on display until the end of October. The Maxwell Street Foundation thanks our neighbors and friends at Saint Ignatius who are hosting this exhibit in their beautiful 1869 school building and historic location fronting the Maxwell Street neighborhood.
