Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Historic district in Loop area, Chicago, US

The Historic Michigan Boulevard District extends along Michigan Avenue from Randolph Street to Roosevelt Road, facing Grant Park and Lake Michigan.

The district gained Chicago Landmark status in 2002 and includes buildings from the late 19th century marking the end point of Route 66.

The Art Institute of Chicago remains the single structure on the east side of Michigan Avenue within this district, following Montgomery Ward's preservation efforts.

The district contains numerous architectural landmarks, commercial establishments, and cultural venues accessible through Chicago's public transportation system.

Michigan Avenue's street-wall configuration resembles Edinburgh's Princes Street, with buildings exclusively lining the western side facing Grant Park.
