After its completion, the company town attracted national attention. Many critics praised Pullman’s conception and planning of the company town. One newspaper article titled “The Arcadian City: Pullman, the Ideal City of the World” praised the company town as “the youngest and most perfect city in the world, Pullman; beautiful in every belonging.”[21] In February 1885, Richard T. Ely published his article “Pullman: A Social Study” in Harper’s Monthly. While the article praised the company town for creating an elevated environment for its workers, the article criticized the all-encompassing influence of the company. The article came to the conclusion that “Pullman is un-American” and “it is benevolent, well wishing feudalism.”[22]

During the Panic of 1893, Pullman closed his manufacturing plant in Detroit in order to move all manufacturing to the company town.[23] On May 11, 1894, the employees of the company town walked off the job and initiated the Pullman Strike. After the strike, the company town was not the same. The strike resulted in the loss of pride for the company town.[24]

In February, 1904, the Pullman Company was mandated to sell the company town by court order. Despite this, the Pullman Company did not sell the company town until 1907.[25] Today, Pullman is a Chicago neighborhood, and a historical landmark district on the state, National Historic Landmark and National Register of Historic Places lists.
