Abstract:
Bethlehem Center and Howell House were church-
related neighborhood houses serving the Pilsen area
on the Near West Side. They provided religious, social
services, and personal welfare assistance to an
immigrant community composed predominantly of
Bohemians, Poles, and Czechs. The two centers
cooperated throughout their history, merging in 1961
as the Neighborhood Service Organization. The
Neighborhood Service Organization, popularly known
as Casa Aztlan, continues to serve the Pilsen area.
