More about this marker. It is believed that at least two more of these markers can be found elsewhere in the neighborhood. As is common for this style of marker for Chicago Landmark Districts, the front and back of the marker are identical; however, the north-facing side of this marker is largely obscured by a tree.
Regarding East Village. The name of the neighborhood comes from its location east of Chicago's Ukrainian Village neighborhood. The neighborhood was designated on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, covering an area from Division to Chicago avenues north to south, and Damen to Hermitage avenues east to west. The Chicago Landmark District designation covers four small enclaves within that district.

Excerpt: "This tiny neighborhood is a residential haven, outlined by the bustling streets it shares with its neighbors. While Division Street may be known for bars and restaurants and Chicago Avenue is home to trendy nightclubs and local eateries, the less-than-a-mile stretch of streets between them are celebrated for their relative peace and quiet. The neighborhood has maintained its distinction in the West area thanks to the unique offerings of its local businesses and its proliferation of single family homes and attached condos. Sandwiched between Noble Square, Ukrainian Village, West Town, and Wicker Park, East Village is the perfect launching pad for those looking to explore the West's trendier neighborhoods while still carving out a distinct place to call home."(Submitted on October 8, 2024, by Sean P.
