About Back of the Yards
Back of the Yards earned its name from its location behind the Union Stock Yards, the vast meatpacking complex that fed much of the nation from 1865 until 1971. Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle depicted the hard lives of immigrant workers here, and the neighborhood later became a birthplace of community organizing through the Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council, founded in 1939. Irish, Polish, Lithuanian, Slovak and Czech families built its churches, many of which still stand. Today the neighborhood within New City is predominantly Mexican American, with 47th Street and Ashland Avenue serving as the shopping heart. Davis Square Park, one of the city's early neighborhood parks, and the Back of the Yards College Prep campus reflect a community that keeps investing in its future.

What Back of the Yards Homes Are Like
Back of the Yards is dense with frame worker cottages, two-flats and three-flats, many built between 1880 and 1920 for stockyard workers and their families. Lots are narrow, and some homes sit behind others on the same lot. Many families have owned their buildings for generations. Basements are often low and partially finished, and kitchens tend to be small, with limited space around appliances and older gas and water lines.
Appliance Repair in Back of the Yards: What to Know
Century-old cottages and flats in Back of the Yards mean appliances often fit into spaces never designed for them. Refrigerators and ranges may sit in tight corners, and laundry machines can be in low basements with limited ventilation. Repairing a machine that already fits the space is often simpler than bringing in a new one through narrow stairways and gangways.
If your building has a rear coach house or back unit reachable only by a gangway, let the technician know which entrance to use. Many Back of the Yards lots have front and rear buildings, and clear directions keep the visit on schedule.
