About The Anchorage

The Anchorage is an architecturally and historically significant property in the Chicago neighborhood of East Garfield, dating back to the late 1800s. The property was purchased in 2023 by the founder of the Chicago based studio, Good Chaos, to save its historic buildings, and to honor its history of caring for women and their children. It is now being restored as an interactive space for Garfield Park residents and community members of all ages. It will offer public gardens, a cafe, and spaces uniquely designed for relaxation, creativity, and connection.

Collaborating With The Community

Good Chaos is collaborating with Garfield Park leaders and residents to explore how the Anchorage can contribute to the neighborhood, honor the area’s rich cultural heritage, and provide space for economic and creative opportunities. Good Chaos is committed to The Anchorage being a place where community members feel welcomed, respected, and inspired.
