One of the few surviving collections of rowhouses on the South Side,
dating from the late-19th and early-20th centuries and including early
works by
Louis Sullivan and
Frank Lloyd Wright (Roloson House). This neighborhood is often
referred to as the "Gap," due to its survival in the midst of other
areas that had been cleared for redevelopment in the 1960s. In recent
years, the area has undergone substantial rehabilitation, including
construction of many new "infill" residences. |
