The south side of Chicago's lakefront is defined by its prestigious institutions and historic residential enclaves. This survey documents the dense corridor between the Metra rail lines and the waters of Lake Michigan, anchored by the University of Chicago and its cluster of academic and theological landmarks, including the McCormick Theological Seminary and Meadville Lombard Theological School. The landscape transitions from the managed green space of Jackson Park, which features the Wooded Island, to the early industrial and residential roots of neighborhoods like Kenwood and Woodlawn.
