Michigan Boulevard Garden Apartments (also known as the Rosenwald) is a large non-governmental subsidized housing project located in the Bronzeville neighborhood of the South Side of Chicago. It's located at East 47th Street and South Michigan Avenue , just one block east of the former CHA Robert Taylor Homes site . It was constructed in 1929 by philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, then president of Sears, Roebuck & Company. The housing project was modeled after the Dunbar Apartments built by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in 1926 in Harlem, New York City. Michigan Boulevard Garden Apartments received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1981. In 2015, a complete renovation of the building, which had been added to the National Register of Historic Places, began. The last residents had moved out 15 years earlier. When complete, the building will hold a mixture of senior citizen apartments and affordable housing for families.
