LakeView Historical Chronicles: Mostly Street & Alley Restoration 948-956 W Newport Ave, 3433-3457 N Sheffield Ave, 947-957 W Cornelia Ave

Narrative & Navigation

This has been a passion of mine for several years. This passion began with a simple inquiry of an ornate gate that surrounds a parking lot on my street. This singular inquiry lead me to learn everything I could online about the history of my neighborhood - Lake View, one of the 77 communities within the City of Chicago. Consider this topical blog as an online library of information for educators like myself who intend to teach others about this historical and robust corner of Chicago. I hope you enjoy the read and add any type of comments at the end of each post.
