DETAILS:
The Florence Lowden Miller Visitor Center has had a varied past reflecting the evolving needs and interests of the Pullman community over time. Initially designed by Solon S. Beman, a prominent architect known for his work on the Pullman Company’s model town, the building served as a boarding house for single men. In the early 1900s, the Freemasons acquired the building and repurposed it as a Masonic Hall. In the 1970s the Historic Pullman Foundation bought it as their office and welcome center. In that role, it has served as a community space, a senior center, a kindergarten classroom, and more for the Historic Pullman Community. It is currently home to the HPF offices and collections.
ENTRANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
Enter the parking lot from Cottage Grove Ave. The entrance to the building faces 112th St.
