The Logan Square Boulevards Historic District is a linear historic district in the
Chicago boulevard system
.
The district includes sections of Logan Boulevard,
Palmer Square
, which connect the boulevards.
Grassy medians run down the center of the
boulevards; the medians and the two squares both provided recreational areas for residents and drew development to the area. Logan Square also includes the Illinois Centennial Monument
, which was erected in 1918 to celebrate Illinois' centennial.
The boulevards pass through residential areas and are lined with homes in a variety of architectural styles. Some of the most common designs are sandstone Romanesque houses, gray stone Victorian houses, and brick buildings with Tudor Revival and Prairie School styles.[2]
The district was added to the
Chicago Landmark on November 1, 2005.[3]
