The Pilsen Historic District is a historic district located in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago. Pilsen is a neighborhood made up of the residential sections of the Lower West Side community area of Chicago. In the late 19th century Pilsen was inhabited by Czech immigrants who named the district after Pilsen, the fourth largest city in Czechia. The population also included in smaller numbers other ethnic groups from the Austro-Hungarian Empire including Slovaks, Slovenes, Croats and Austrians, as well as immigrants of Polish and Lithuanian heritage. The Czechs had replaced the Germans, who had settled there first with the Irish in the mid-19th century. Although there was an increasing Mexican American presence in the late 1950s, it was not until 1962-63 when there was a great spurt in the numbers of Mexican Americans in Pilsen due to the destruction of the neighborhood west of Halsted Street between Roosevelt and Taylor Streets to create room for the construction of the University of Illinois at Chicago. Although this area was predominantly Italian American, it was also an important entry point for Mexican immigrants for several decades. Latinos became the majority in 1970 when they surpassed the Slavic population. The neighborhood continued to serve as port of entry for immigrants, both legal and illegal, mostly of Mexican descent. Pilsen’s Mexican population is increasingly dwarfed by what has become the largest Mexican neighborhood in Chicago, Little Village.
Mostly residential and collegiate, the Near West Side is home to Maxwell Street, the birthplace of Chicago Blues and the Polish sausage sandwich. Nearby is a long-running Sunday market and Hull House museum, a former immigrant settlement founded by reformer Jane Addams. Michael Jordan made his name at the United Center, where the Bulls and Blackhawks play. Italian restaurants cluster on Taylor Street in Little Italy.
Lincoln Park is a designated community area on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois. Lying to the west of Lincoln Park, Chicago’s largest park, it is one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Chicago.
The Loop is a vibrant area featuring eclectic eateries, shops, theaters and parks. Comprised mostly of high-rises, it’s also home to the 108-story Willis Tower. The iconic “Cloud Gate” sculpture sits in Millennium Park. Grant Park features the large, rococo-style Buckingham Fountain and the renowned Art Institute of Chicago, and hosts annual events like The Taste of Chicago and Lollapalooza.
The Near North Side is home to iconic skyscrapers like the 1920s Wrigley Building, as well as 360 Chicago, a 94th-floor observation deck. Both are on the “Magnificent Mile” section of North Michigan Avenue, along with posh boutiques and department stores. The Navy Pier lakefront attraction has rides, casual dining, and cruises, and the huge Museum of Contemporary Art stages innovative exhibitions.
