The Neighborhood Of Gold Coast
|
|---|
Located north from Chicago Avenue to North Avenue and east from the Lakefront to LaSalle Street. The Gold Coast is one of the oldest areas in Chicago and is the city’s wealthiest. It dates back to 1882 when Potter Palmer (a civic leader) bought land covered by little more than frog ponds on what would later become north Lake Shore Drive. There he built what would be the first of many mansions there.
Land values in the Gold Coast increased by 400% within a decade, and it became the home of the Chicago’s most-affluent citizens. The Gold Coast also boasts the famed “Rush and Division Street” district, which houses some of the most popular bars, restaurants, and upscale-shopping in the city.
The Gold Coast is also home to the Newberry Library. The Newberry is an independent research library concentrating in the humanities, with an active educational and cultural presence in Chicago. It houses an extensive non-circulating collection of rare books, maps, and manuscripts. |
