Built in the 1880s, the abandoned factory that was purchased by the state in 1990 was to have become a transportation museum.

Pullman is a neighborhood within the south side of the city of Chicago where the Pullman locomotive car factory was located. It was a unique neighborhood because the it was a company town. That means it was run by the company, complete with schools for employees' children and stores that accepted the "scrip" that the employees were paid with instead of US currency. See related links for more details.
I just viewed a factory video on U-Tube, and the price mentioned was 1,000,000 Euro when new.

Pullman, Washington, was originally named Three Forks. It was renamed as Pullman after George Pullman, an industrialist from America, in 1884.
One facility was in Michigan City, Indiana. One of the surviving buildings is part of the big outlet mall located there.
Pullman was a town for people that worked on Pullman cars. It is in Chicago.
Pullman Village existed on the far southeast side of Chicago where the Pullman factory made Pullman railway cars. In Pullman Village, employees lived in company provided housing, shopped at company provided stores, and their children went to school in company provided schools. What buildings remain are part of a historical preservation. Some would consider it a Utopia. Others saw it as a labor ghetto designed to control the free will of workers at Pullman's Plant. It provided certain amenities and a clean and healthy environment but it was designed to control the employees, eliminate labor unions and collective bargaining by providing for instant and immediate eviction. It was a Company Town.
The address of the Pullman - Neill - Public Library is: 210 N Grand Ave, Pullman, 99163 2693
