The Pioneer Arcade Landmark Status
Completed in 1925, the Pioneer Arcade at 1535-1545 North Pulaski Road in Chicago was designed by Danish-born Chicago architect Jens J. Jensen (1891- 1969) for Greek-born entrepreneur Constantinos “Gust” Regas (1894-1986). This Spanish Baroque Revival-style structure, conceived as an elaborate social and entertainment center for Chicago’s growing Humboldt Park community, is one of the last remaining large-scale commercial buildings that formed a neighborhood commercial center. With its impressive ivory-colored terra-cotta façade, the Pioneer Arcade is the most ornate and intact example of the Chicago commercial recreation center type (commercially run bowling and billiard hall) still standing.
The Building of Chicago - Commercial Elegance
Jens Jensen, built the Guyon Hotel from 1927 to 1928. The hotel was one of four major post World War I projects in West Garfield Park.
