Historical Chicago Building Codes
Historical Chicago Building Codes
(OP)
Does anyone have a reference for where I can find the historical building codes for the City of Chicago? I am doing a project where I need to reference several of the historical codes. I have looked online for PDF's of these codes but with no luck. I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction - ideally to PDFs. Thanks!

I’ll bet the Chicago Bldg. Dept. would have some history and info. on this matter, and maybe a little something to say about it. Your local Ref. Library might have copies of those codes, a Chicago Ref. Library probably would. I suspect they all even have phones. Why is it that with the advent of the internet, Google and E-Tips, we never go directly to the source for the answers any longer?

The only drawback with this site is that you can't download the entire book - it's one page at a time - unless you're associated with the University of Michigan.
