Late 19th–early 20th century. 9th and 11th sts., between W. Oakland and W. Adams aves.

This residential neighborhood contains some of the city's finest historic houses dating from the turn of the twentieth century. While not officially designated as a historic district, the neighborhood contains many Queen Anne and Prairie School–influenced houses, and a number of bungalows. The house at 516 N. 9th Street is a curious juxtaposition of several modes turning around a corner crenellated tower.
