Story

Located at East 43rd Street and South Calumet Avenue in the Grand Boulevard Neighborhood, The Forum served the community as a hub for entertainment, a meeting hall for both labor and civil rights groups throughout its early years. After standing vacant for almost four decades, the building was purchased with the goal of restore the Forum to its original function as a hall to help serve the cultural and social needs of its community.

Throughout the summer of 2013, I served as an intern in the department of Historic Preservation at the Wisconsin State Historical Society located in Madison, WI. It was there that I worked with the 2,382 National Register Sites listed in the state of Wisconsin.
