East Lake Shore Drive District, Historic district along Lake Michigan in Streeterville, Chicago, United States.

The East Lake Shore Drive District features eight pre-war residential buildings forming a continuous wall of traditional European architecture along the lakefront.

The district received Chicago Landmark status in the 1980s, with buildings designed by Marshall & Fox architectural firm during the early 1900s.

The Drake Tower within the district has welcomed numerous notable guests, including international dignitaries, and appeared in multiple major motion pictures.

Residences in the district range from single-bedroom units starting at $335,000 to expansive seven-bedroom properties exceeding $9 million.

The district maintains its original architectural composition as one of the few lakefront areas without modern construction interrupting its historical continuity.
