How does a junk car pickup work on a Pullman rowhouse block?

Junk Car Company picks up from the street or the alley in Pullman. Tell us on the form and the call where the car sits, the nearest cross street, and whether it's in a rear garage, so the driver can plan the tow on narrow rowhouse streets. The tow is on us, and you're paid in the same visit.

Rowhouse streets and alley garages

Pullman was built as a company town, and it still looks like one: the original town runs roughly from 103rd Street to 115th Street, between Cottage Grove Avenue on the west and the railroad tracks on the east. Its brick rowhouses were protected with National, State and City landmark status by 1972, around 900 of them along with the public buildings.

That history shapes a pickup. The streets are narrow, parking is on the street, and many homes have a garage at the back off the alley. A car at the curb is simple. A car in a rear garage is fine too, but we need to know before the truck comes, and it helps to know if the car rolls or the tires are flat.

Landmarks to describe your block by

The Clock Tower and the factory complex, the Hotel Florence, Market Square and Greenstone Church are the landmarks at its heart. The historic site became a national monument on February 19, 2015, and was redesignated Pullman National Historical Park in December 2022, so you’ll see park signs around the core blocks. 111th Street and 115th Street are the main east-west roads, and Cottage Grove runs along the west side.

For transit, two Metra Electric stations serve the area: 111th Street/Pullman and 115th Street/Kensington. Most express trains stop at 115th.
