Bryn Mawr Historic District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bryn Mawr Historic District is a lakefront enclave of the Edgewater neighborhood community of far-north Chicago in Illinois. It extends along Bryn Mawr Avenue between Broadway Avenue and Sheridan Road. Its most prominent features are the Belle Shore Apartment Hotel, Bryn Mawr Apartment Hotel, Edgewater Beach Apartments, Edgewater Presbyterian Church and the northernmost area of Lincoln Park.
Old fashioned green lanterns and lamp posts reminiscent of Chicago in the 1920s and 1930s line the Bryn Mawr Historic District streets, adorned with green banners and gold lettering proudly proclaiming the neighborhood's historic significance. It was declared a historic district by the Chicago City Council due to the presence of several Chicago Landmark sites.
Bryn Mawr is the Welsh translation of Big Hill.
