The Michigan Avenue streetwall along Grant Park is one of Chicago's most iconic and widely recognized images. Made up of many of the city's finest individual buildings, this dramatic ensemble reflects Chicago's development as a grand lakefront metropolis during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the site of significant cultural institutions, clubs, hotels, and other prestigious buildings, the district played an important role in the city's social, economic, and cultural history.
