Alta Vista Terrace District
Alta Vista Terrace District, Historic district in Wrigleyville, Chicago, US
The Alta Vista Terrace District features forty row houses arranged in a symmetrical pattern along a single block, with twenty distinct exterior architectural designs.
Developer Samuel Eberly Gross constructed this residential area in 1904, drawing inspiration from London row houses during his European travels.
The district received recognition as Chicago's first designated historic district in 1971, establishing guidelines for architectural preservation in the city.
Located between Grace Street and Byron Street at 1050 West, the narrow lots measure 24 feet wide by 40 feet deep.
Each house mirrors its diagonal counterpart across the street, creating a balanced arrangement of Roman brick structures with varied rooflines and colors.
