Produktbeschreibung
Old Irving Park is indeed a crown jewel among Chicago neighborhoods. Located on the city's north side, it is peaceful and family oriented with a suburban-like charm. It has many handsomely restored older homes with distinctive architectural styles. Old Irving Park was the birthplace of Irving Park, a quaint suburb established in 1869 that was annexed by Chicago in 1889. It has a rich history with over a century of memories. Stately churches sit on quiet street corners exuding a neighborly spirit. Various churches and schools have held centennial celebrations, and old, majestic trees line every street. It has seen many changes but is still a thriving community with character, nice homes, and a legacy of civic-minded individuals and organizations.
