Originally a Swedish working class neighborhood, Andersonville is a trendy place to live for young Chicago professionals and the LGBT community
The iconic Andersonville water tower with Swedish flag was replaced in 2017, over three years since it's initial removal from atop the Swedish American Museum. The original wooden water tower was installed in 1927 and had to be removed in 2014 after weathering years of exposure and a particularly harsh winter. The tower became an iconic symbol of the neighborhood in the 1980's when it was initially painted with the Swedish flag, a nod to immigrants who initially lived in the neighborhood.
