Prairie Avenue Historic District

Once the most prestigious address in Chicago, the Prairie Avenue Historic District on the South Side was home to influential tycoons such as George Pullman and Marshall Field. Today, only a few of the original mansions stand on what was known as ‘Millionaires Row,’ yet the district remains preserved on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors can explore this area to glimpse the architectural and historical remnants of Chicago’s Gilded Age, offering a tangible connection to the city’s opulent past.
