The pergola is often the largest element on your rooftop deck, so it will be responsible for a hefty portion of the first impression from your friends and family. Make it impressive.
A JLV pergola is made of steel and specially suited for Chicago’s weather and climate. We anchor it to your deck or patio then add your space’s other elements like outdoor kitchen, landscaping, or fire pit.
Some options to consider are whether you want a louvered or fixed roof as well as where lighting will be situated around it. Start dreaming, and when you’re ready to put it all together, give us a call.
More About Evanston
Evanston was founded by Methodist business leaders in 1857, named after John Evans, one of their leaders. Northwestern University, one of the world’s leading research universities, was founded in 1851 prior to city incorporation in 1863. Today, Evanston is ethnically diverse and socially liberal despite being a dry city until 1972. The city is heavily influenced by Chicago as well as the university itself, sharing a complex relationship with both.
Evanston was uninhabited until the 1830s and was mainly made up of wetlands and swampy forest. However, Potawatomi Native Americans used trails along higher ridges and had settlements along the trails that ran north-south. In 1850, the Ridgeville township was established, but still no municipality existed.
In 1863, Evanston was formally incorporated as a town, but declined to become a city in 1869. Following the Civil War, Evanston expanded folllowing the annexation of the village of South Evanston and became a city in 1892.
In 2021, Evanston became the first city in the USA to pay reparations to African-Americans who were victims of discriminatory housing practices. In the same year, Evanston also became one of the first cities to approve a guaranteed income to select residents.
