If you’re not a college student, you might not spend a lot of time around the intersection of West Fullerton Avenue and North Halsted Street. But if you do happen to find yourself in the area, it’s worth wandering a block southwest to explore the McCormick Row House Landmark District
It’s one of the city’s smaller landmark districts, encompassing about a block-and-a-half of territory on either side of North Fremont Street. But it’s a slice of Chicago life preserved, as described by a sign in the area:
These row houses were built in 1884-89 to provide rental income for McCormick Theological Seminary, which was located here at the time. This residential community represents an excellent example of 19th-century design and site planning.
Location: McCormick Row Houses District, Sheffield Neighbors
