The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley Home (also called the Till House Museum) is a two flat apartment building in Chicago that in the 1950s was the home of Emmett Till and his mother, Mamie Till. Located on South St. Lawrence Avenue in West Woodlawn, it was declared a Chicago Landmark in 2021, upon application of its then new owner Blacks-in-Green (BIG), a community and environmental non-profit development organization. It received a National Trust for Historic Preservation award in 2022.^[2]
