Notes: The South Side Swedish Club of Chicago was formed to meet the community desire for an ethnic meeting place, and was first located in the heart of the Swedish enclave, near Andersonville. It was later located, and very active through the 1950-1960s, at 7330 S. Ridgeland. Meetings, festivals, ceremonies and similar events were held at their club location. However, the dispersion of original residents and dilution through new and different ethnic interests led to the club closing, with the property eventually being held by the Nation of Islam.
