This is the location of the old Pullman Company Administration Building and factory, the main buildings in the old industrial town of Pullman. George Pullman built this town for his company's employees, and it was run by the company. Employees were paid with scrip able to be spent only in Pullman. The town, fortunately, was annexed by Chicago after the US Supreme Court ruled that a company cannot legally own a town.
The buildings at the North Pole in the animated film "The Polar Express" (2004) were based on those of the Pullman Company. It is especially evident in their replica of its Administration Building on film.
