Property is a collaborative exhibit with the Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society that reflects the way neighborhoods emerge and change as a result of land development. For this project, the Historical Society placed 100 images from the Rogers Park/West Ridge photography archive into the creative commons. The new works of the exhibition have been created as individual responses to the archival images.

The full selection of archival images dating from 1870 to 2005 are available to view and download on the Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society profile: flickr.com/photos/rpwrhs. The selection of original images include photographs donated to the Historical Society from the collections of Leonard and Lillian Adler, Katherine Allen (née Dittmar), LeRoy Blommaert, Lillian M.
