The East Village District contains nearly three hundred properties built between the early 1880s and the 1920s. This ensemble of buildings consists primarily of two- and three-flats as well as single-family houses and multi-family residential buildings. The area was home to German, Polish, and other European immigrants who settled in the area throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s. The owner of this property removed a non-historic 2-story front porch, stripped the paint off the masonry, repaired the damaged brick, and installed new windows and a new front door and stairs to return the home to its historic appearance. The East Village District was designated a Chicago Landmarks on January 11, 2006.
