K-Town Historic District
K-Town Historic District, Historic district in North Lawndale, Chicago, United States
The residential area spans 82 acres between West Cullerton Street, South Pulaski Road, West Cermak Road, and South Kostner Avenue in Chicago.
The district obtained its name in 1889 when Chicago implemented an alphabetical street naming system, with K-streets marking eleven miles from the Illinois-Indiana border.
Initially populated by Czech immigrants in the early 1900s, the district transformed during the Great Migration as African American families established their homes there.
The district connects to downtown Chicago through two Pink Line stations, Pulaski and Kostner, offering convenient public transportation access for visitors and residents.
The area contains specific contributing properties at 4014 and 4016 West Cullerton Street, which exemplify the architectural heritage of this National Register listed district.
