Fodor's Expert Review Ukrainian Village Landmark District

Wicker Park Free

For a glimpse of how the working class lived at the turn of the 20th century, head south of Wicker Park to the Ukrainian Village. In its center, on Haddon Avenue and on Thomas and Cortez streets between Damen Avenue and Leavitt Street, you'll find a well-preserved group of workers' cottages and apartments. At the corner of Leavitt and Haddon Streets, gilded cupolas mark Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral (tours offered occasionally; schedule at holytrinitycathedral.net), an early-20th-century church designed by renowned Chicago architect Louis Sullivan.
