"Prairie Avenue Historic District 2" via bluepoet, who notes: "This was THE place to live before the Chicago Fire of 1871. The city demographics and geography changed after the fire, and the rich moved out of Prairie Ave and up to the North Side. This area has seen revitalization in recent years, and houses here now go for $1,000,000."
