Distinctive Housing in Uptown Chicago
Many of the spacious mansions
and apartment
buildings from the 1900s were
converted into
rooming houses to provide more
affordable
housing. However, over the last
20 years,
these architectural gems have
been renovated
and restored by individuals and
developers
intent on salvaging the heritage
of this
lakefront neighborhood. While
it is growing
in popularity, there are still
many opportunities
to find affordable renovated
and renovation-ready
properties in Uptown.
Background and History of Uptown
The historical, cultural, and
commercial
center of Uptown is Broadway,
with Uptown
Square at the center. In 1900
the Northwestern
Elevated Railroad constructed
its terminal
near Montrose and Broadway (now
part of the
CTA Red Line). This may be where
the neighborhood
gets its name since it was the
terminal of
the rail line that led north
from the center
of the city. The neighborhood's
name may
also come from its historical
roots as a
summer resort town for downtown
dwellers.
For a time, all northbound trains
from downtown
ended in Uptown. From here Uptown
became
known as an entertainment destination.
The
Aragon Ballroom, Riviera Theater,
Uptown
Theatre, and Green Mill Jazz
Club are all
located within a half block of
Lawrence and
Broadway. Uptown is also home
to one of Chicago's
most celebrated final resting
spots, Graceland
Cemetery.

Background and History of Lincoln
Park
The area now known as Lincoln
Park in Chicago
was still primarily forest with
stretches
of grassland and occasional quicksand,
and
was virtually untouched by Europeans
as late
as the 1820s.
In 1824 the United States Army
built a small
post near today's Clybourn and
Armitage Avenues.
Indian settlements existed along
Green Bay
Trail, now called Clark Street
(named after
explorer George Rogers Clark),
at the current
intersection of Halsted Street
and Fullerton
Avenue.
In 1836, land from North to Fullerton
and
from the lake to Halsted was
inexpensive
because the area was considered
remote. Therefore,
a small pox hospital and the
city cemetery
were located in Lincoln Park
until the 1860s.
In 1837 Chicago was incorporated
as a city,
and North Avenue was established
as its northern
boundary. Settlements increased
along Green
Bay Trail when the government
offered land
claims and Green Bay Road was
widened
