Milwaukee-Diversey-Kimball District, Historic district at Milwaukee, Diversey, and Kimball intersection, Chicago, United States.
The Milwaukee-Diversey-Kimball District is a commercial area at the intersection of three streets in Chicago with seven buildings from the 1920s. These structures display Classical Revival and Art Deco styles at a distinctive six-corner intersection.
The district developed between 1922 and 1930 as part of urban growth in this Chicago area. It received Chicago Landmark status in 2005, officially protecting these buildings from that era.
The district marks the gateway to Chicago's Polish Village and shows how retail businesses shaped early immigrant communities. These buildings reflect how major stores became gathering points in neighborhoods where people worked and lived.
The district is compact and easy to explore on foot, with shops and public transportation nearby. Visitors can see the main buildings during a short walk through the area.
The building facades feature intricately crafted glazed terra cotta details that remain visible today. This artistic craftsmanship was a hallmark of retail architecture during that period.
