An Evolving Promise

Pullman National Monument tells the story of late 19th-to-early-20th-century American industrialization and labor history. George Pullman sought to create an integrated manufacturing and residential community that was efficient, profitable, beautiful, and pleasant for the company’s workers. Satisfied workers would be easier to retain, and less likely to unionize, both items that could positively impact corporate profit. While there were opportunities and benefits to renting and living in Pullman, there were also restrictions and limitations. In 1894, the financial hardship felt by some workers, along with a company unwilling to negotiate relief, ended up sparking a strike in Pullman and, within a matter of weeks, a national boycott of all trains on which Pullman cars were attached. Ultimately, relationships between workers and managers evolved, producing a reality different from the goals of any single person or group. This emerging reality also created opportunities for groups like the Pullman porters, who refused to accept inequity on the road to civil rights for all Americans.

Exhibit Overview

This design alternative explores Pullman’s history and the different cultural perspectives of employees and their families. The exhibits have been divided into an introductory hallway and different exhibit sections that take visitors on a journey through Pullman’s past and into its present.

Visitors enter the building through two entrances and move into a central carriageway.

In this space, a timeline component provides an overview of Pullman’s history, taking visitors from George Pullman’s origins through the establishment of Pullman National

Monument. A map of Pullman provides helpful guidance on areas that visitors may want to explore, including partner sites. Nearby, a flexible exhibit space may display photography, artwork, or other temporary exhibits.

The main exhibit space begins with an experiential display set inside a Pullman car. From there, visitors step out into an area interpreting George Pullman and his vision. The next major sections interpret innovations in both manufacturing and community planning.

Then, visitors learn about the 1894 strike and its legacy. After that, exhibits cover the

Pullman porters and the union they founded. Finally, the remaining exhibits discuss the relevance of this site’s themes and offer visitors an opportunity to leave their own thoughts and interpretations.

Visitor Experience

After they enter the building, visitors encounter introductory exhibits and signage that direct them to the interpretive exhibits and multipurpose room. Immediately before moving into the exhibit space, a wall featuring introductory text and imagery greets visitors and provides an overview of the exhibit’s “big idea.” A scrim illuminates, revealing a single monochromatic figure depicted finishing a train car. Beyond this orientation area, visitors see a Pullman car that they step into and explore. A mix of reproductions and audiovisual components creates an immersive environment that transports guests back in time. After experiencing this scene, visitors step out into the main exhibit area.

The first two sections interpret the corporate vision of George Pullman and the story behind his planned community. The floor plan is relatively open, and exhibit elements extend high on the perimeter walls, underlining a sense of opportunity and grand vision.

A tactile map allows visitors to learn about the layout of the neighborhood of Pullman— then and now. Visitors may look at historic photographs applied to the building’s windows showing what the grounds looked like circa 1890.

The next area is much more industrial in its theming. Obstacles compel visitors to stop and consider the benefits and drawbacks of Pullman’s mix of social uplift and social control during a time of national labor strife and economic crisis. A scene featuring display objects, a short film, and evocative imagery brings the story of the Pullman porters to life. Finally, before exiting the exhibit area, visitors learn about the company’s final years. Concluding exhibits ask visitors to consider how the major stories associated with Pullman—labor rights and urban planning—still resonate with them today. A space for visitor-generated content will show their answers.

Desired Outcomes

This exhibit will balance the vision of Pullman with the complications of success. Who creates wealth and opportunity? Who determines how the benefits of wealth are distributed? What does it mean to make good on the promises of capitalism? Pullman began with a vision for an ideal community, but in reality, the town and the company could not escape the conflict that characterized industrial America.

Scale = N/A Exhibit Narrative

PULLMAN CHANGED AMERICA

EXHIBIT NARRATIVE:

T H E B I G I D E A

Pullman—the man, the company, and the town—illustrates the tension between ideals and realities that shaped industrial America.

George Pullman capitalized on Chicago’s booming industry and a diverse workforce to create the Pullman Company.

What happened here transformed the history of labor, race relations, transportation, and urban planning.

V I S I T O R TA K E AWAY S

Pullman rail cars and their model of luxurious service are central to this story.

Though the town of Pullman provided good living conditions for workers, the cost of these amenities during a national recession helped spur labor unrest.

The 1894 strike was a pivotal event in US labor history.

The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters was a highly influential organization that aided the quest for African American equality in the US.

D E S I G N A P P R O A C H E S

This layout provides a directed flow for visitors.

Exhibit designs are inspired by the stories being told—one room may include design details speaking to the buildings found in Pullman, while the next may include elements found in a manufacturing facility.

Scenic elements—including a Pullman car and a monochromatic figure—bring history to life.

THE PULLMAN COMPANY CHANGED TRANSPORTATION,

INDUSTRY, LABOR, AND URBAN PLANNING.

The Pullman Company revolutionized rail travel after the Civil War by building, leasing, and marketing luxurious sleeping cars.

George Mortimer Pullman, the company’s founder, also created an efficient and profitable manufacturing and residential community, offering amenities to its residents. While there were benefits to living in Pullman, not all residents were comfortable with the costs and limitations of living in a company run town.

A bitter strike sparked on May 11, 1894, brought on by severe financial hardships felt by factory workers—along with a company unwilling to negotiate on wages or rents during a nationwide economic depression. Labor leader Eugene Victor Debs and the American Railway Union (ARU) organized a national boycott of all trains on which Pullman cars were attached, ultimately stalling national commerce. The federal government arrested ARU leaders and deployed troops to put an end to the strike and boycott, empowering the government to stop other nationwide strikes in the future and weakening labor organizations for decades.

Today, the Pullman Company no longer exists, and the town has become a Chicago neighborhood. The name “Pullman,” however, still resonates with images of exceptional luxury, legendary service, planned communities, and monumental labor movements.

Glamorous advertisements and plush sleeping cars made the name “Pullman” synonymous with luxury. The passengers’ comfort, however, was made possible by the hard work of Pullman employees— from the machinists who ensured safety, to the artisans who handcrafted fine details, to the porters who provided exceptional service.

Take a look beyond the advertisements to see a worker putting finishing touches on a Pullman car.

THE PULLMAN COMPANY CHANGED TRANSPORTATION,

INDUSTRY, LABOR, AND URBAN PLANNING.

The Pullman Company revolutionized rail travel after the Civil War by building, leasing, and marketing luxurious sleeping cars.

George Mortimer Pullman, the company’s founder, also created an efficient and profitable manufacturing and residential community, offering amenities to its residents. While there were benefits to living in Pullman, not all residents were comfortable with the costs and limitations of living in a company run town.

A bitter strike sparked on May 11, 1894, brought on by severe financial hardships felt by factory workers—along with a company unwilling to negotiate on wages or rents during a nationwide economic depression. Labor leader Eugene Victor Debs and the American Railway Union (ARU) organized a national boycott of all trains on which Pullman cars were attached, ultimately stalling national commerce. The federal government arrested ARU leaders and deployed troops to put an end to the strike and boycott, empowering the government to stop other nationwide strikes in the future and weakening labor organizations for decades.

Today, the Pullman Company no longer exists, and the town has become a Chicago neighborhood. The name “Pullman,” however, still resonates with images of exceptional luxury, legendary service, planned communities, and monumental labor movements.

Glamorous advertisements and plush sleeping cars made the name “Pullman” synonymous with luxury. The passengers’ comfort, however, was made possible by the hard work of Pullman employees— from the machinists who ensured safety, to the artisans who handcrafted fine details, to the porters who provided exceptional service.

Take a look beyond the advertisements to see a worker putting finishing touches on a Pullman car.

TIMELINE / K E Y D A T E S

PULLMAN

M A N , C O M P A N Y, A N D T O W N

George Mortimer Pullman incorporates the Pullman Palace Car Company, known for its luxurious sleeping and parlor cars and first-class service provided by formerly enslaved men.

The Nation’s first transcontinental railroad is completed, significantly increasing the demand for long distance rail travel with sleeping and dining service. 1877

In the midst of a severe economic depression, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad cuts wages three times in a year, triggering a nationwide strike that lasts some 45 days.

Workers destroy railroad facilities across the United States. Local and state militia and federal troops kill 100 workers across the country.

In an effort to buffer his business from national labor conflicts, George Pullman acquires nearly 4,000 acres and commissions architect Solon Spencer Beman and landscape architect Nathan Franklin Barrett to design the new town of Pullman south of Chicago.

Construction begins on the new Pullman factory. The first completed building is the Allen Paper Car Wheel Company plant, which made wheels for the Pullman sleepers.

January 1: The town’s first residents, the Benson family, move into Pullman.

November 1: Hotel Florence opens and is named for George Pullman’s oldest daughter. It would become an icon of luxury in Pullman.

The town’s Arcade, opens and would eventually include shops, offices, a library, theater, several general-purpose rooms, and a bank.

Construction on the original town of Pullman is substantially completed.

May 1: A confederation of labor organizations holds a massive peaceful march on Michigan Avenue. Participants advocate a national strike in support of an 8-hour work day.

May 3: Violence breaks out between police and strikers at the McCormick Reaper Plant and two strikers are killed.

May 4: Near the end of a peaceful protest in Haymarket Square, an unknown assailant throws a bomb, killing a police officer. In the chaos, police fire on the crowd killing several officers and citizens.

The Haymarket tragedy outcomes will influence the actions of labor, government, police, capitalists and the media in the Pullman Strike.

Chicago annexes the town of Pullman and portions of the city’s South Side.

May 1: The World’s Fair opens in Chicago, attracting nearly 20 million visitors. The Pullman Company’s exhibits are a highlight of the fair’s Transportation Building.

May 5: A worldwide banking crisis triggers the Panic of 1893, sparking an economic depression that lasts through 1897.

June 21: Workers in Chicago form the American Railway Union (ARU), led by Eugene Victor Debs.

Radical at the time, it was one of the first unions to organize skilled and unskilled workers together.

Organizers excluded African American railroad workers from membership.

May 11: Following the Panic of 1893 and a dramatic decline in order for Pullman’s products, the Pullman Company cut wages, while keeping rents the same.

After the company declined to collectively bargain, nearly 3,000 Pullman workers go on strike.

June 26: Eugene Debs reluctantly leads the American Railway Union (ARU) in a national boycott of trains with Pullman cars attached in support of striking Pullman workers. The result is a massive disruption across the United States to commerce and the traveling public.

July 3–10: President Grover Cleveland, through an injunction, sends federal troops to prevent the blockade of trains and deter violence on July 3. Seven days later, the government indicts and charges Debs and ARU officers are with criminal interference with the US Mail Service and interstate commerce. By mid-July the strike is declared over, and federal troops are withdrawn.

PULLMAN NATIONAL MONUMENT

Seven days later, the government indicts and charges Debs and ARU officers are with criminal interference with the US Mail Service and interstate commerce. By mid-July the strike is declared over, and federal troops are withdrawn.

President Grover Cleveland establishes a United States Strike Commission to investigate the causes and events of the 1894 strike.

George Pullman dies. Robert Todd Lincoln succeeds him as President of the Pullman Palace Car Company.

Illinois Supreme Court orders the Pullman Palace Car Company to sell all of its non-factory lands and property in the town of Pullman, including residential homes.

Pullman Palace Car Company is reorganized as The Pullman Company and absorbs the Wagner Car Company, a previous competitor.

The Pullman Company produces its first steel sleeping car, initiating changes in both the work process in the factory shops and the composition of the workforce.

The neighborhood’s population changes as former company homes became available for purchase.

Congress tasks a federal commission on Industrial Relations with investigating labor laws. The commission finds that “conductors and porters employed in the car service of the Pullman Co.

are employed under conditions which seem to require radical readjustment.”

The United States enters World War I and the Pullman Company quickly modifies production to build munitions and freight transport cars in the United States and France.

Five hundred Pullman porters meet in Harlem on August 25 and choose Asa Philip Randolph to lead them in organizing a union. Their chosen motto is “Fight or Be Slaves.”

The group officially starts an over decade-long struggle for African American union recognition.

In a government-supervised election, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters becomes the certified union for the Pullman porters, the first all-black union recognized by the American Federation of Labor. Two years later, the Brotherhood signs its first collective bargaining agreement with the Pullman Company, continuing to fight for equality and civil rights.

The Pullman Company again converts to production of war-related materiel during World War II, this time including tanks, troop transport cars, plane parts, and ships at Lake Calumet.

The Roseland Chamber of Commerce recommends clearing the area from 111th to 115th Streets for an industrial park.

Public outcry halts the plans and leads to the town of Pullman’s preservation.

The entire Pullman district, from 103rd to 115th Streets, receives a designation as a National Historic Landmark.

The Pullman Company produces its last car, fulfilling a contract with Amtrak.

An arsonist sets fire to the Pullman Administration Building and adjacent manufacturing structures part of Pullman State Historic Site.

President Barack Obama issues a proclamation designating the establishment of Pullman National Monument. The National Park Service joins the community and other organizations to help preserve and share this special place.
