In 1888, an Episcopalian pastor purchased a house to provide a safe, secure life for three older women in his Hyde Park parish. In 1915, this generous impulse spurred the construction of a building to accommodate 80 residents. Today, more than 200 people enjoy the benefits of living at Montgomery Place, which offers a vibrant, stimulating urban lifestyle that's as engaging as it is enriching. Our apartments overlook Lake Michigan and the Museum of Science and Industry. And our resident-directed programs make us the cultural center of East Hyde Park, located near the University of Chicago campus and just down the Drive from downtown Chicago's attractions and resources.   This position is currently accepting applications.
