The Burlingham Building is a historic building located at 104 W. Oak Street in the Near North Side neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Dentist Luke Burlingham had the building constructed in 1883 to house his professional offices, with apartments on the upper floors. While the building was originally four stories tall, the apartments were successful enough that Burlingham added two more stories of apartments in 1897. Architect Alfred Smith designed the Victorian building; as it faces the corner of Oak and Clark Streets, the building is an example of the common Victorian corner buildings of the era. A cast iron turret on the corner and three matching cast iron bays project from the building; each features slate shingles and colored glass in the central windows. The rest of the building is built from red brick with sandstone trim, with a bracketed cast iron cornice along the roof.The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1985.

North Chicago Township was a township in Cook County, Illinois that was part of the City of Chicago. It comprised that part of pre-1889 Chicago north and east of the Chicago River. When Lake View Township to its north was annexed to Chicago in 1889, it was maintained as a township and not incorporated into North Chicago Township, so the latter continued to be bound to the north by Fullerton Avenue. Chicago residents voted to eliminate the townships in the city in 1902, including North Chicago Township; nevertheless, they remain in use for the purposes of property assessment.

The Near North Side is the eighth of Chicago's 77 community areas. It is the northernmost of the three areas that constitute central Chicago, the others being the Loop and the Near South Side. The community area is located north and east of the Chicago River. To its east is Lake Michigan, and its northern boundary is the early 19th-century city limit of Chicago, North Avenue. In 2020 the Near North Side had 105,481 residents, surpassing Lake View as the largest Chicago community area by population. It is also the most densely populated community area and has the second most skyscrapers, after the Loop. With the exception of Goose Island (which is undergoing development with upscale residences), the Near North Side is known for its extreme affluence, typified by the Gold Coast, Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier, and its world-famous skyscrapers. The Near North Side is the oldest part of Chicago. In the 1780s, in what is now the Near North Side, on the northern banks of the Chicago River near today's Michigan Avenue Bridge, Jean Baptiste Point du Sable built the first known permanent settlement in what was called "Eschecagou." Today, this is marked by Pioneer Court. Especially in the vicinity of Rush and Erie streets, the Near North Side was once known as McCormickville; so named because it is here where many branches of the famous McCormick family of mechanical reaper fame built their mansions in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

The house's Italianate design features a stone exterior, a double bay front, a bracketed and ornamented cornice, arched windows, and decorative keystones. Though Italianate rowhouses are still common in the Near North Side, freestanding Italianate homes are relatively rare, and the Waller House is one of the best-preserved examples of these homes.The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1980.

The Mark Twain Hotel is a historic residential hotel located at 111 W. Division Street in the Near North Side community area of Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1930 by developer Fred Becklenberg, the hotel was one of several residential hotels built to house the influx of labor to Chicago in the late 1920s. Most of the hotel's residents were permanent; according to 1940 census records, the majority had been at the hotel for over five years. Architect Harry Glube designed the hotel in the Art Deco style, a departure from the revival styles normally used for residential hotels. The brick building features extensive terra cotta detailing, including an elaborate cornice and stringcourse above and below the fourth floor.The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 2017.The building was renovated starting in 2018 and celebrated a grand re-opening in 2020.

The origins of the Collectors Club of Chicago (CCC) are traced to the informal meetings during the 1920s of specialized collectors residing in the Chicago area. The CCC was incorporated in accordance with the General Not For Profit Corporation Act on October 13, 1928 in the State of Illinois, with nine members being named directors and with meetings being conducted in members' homes. Meetings continued at members' homes until World War II, at which time the meetings lapsed. On Sunday, November 26, 1944, a reorganization meeting of the then-charter-named "Chicago Collectors Club" was held at the home of Maj. Max G. Johl. Today's CCC is the result of that reorganization effort. In 1967, CCC member Richard McPherren Cabeen offered the Collectors Club of Chicago his four-level brownstone home, located in Chicago's downtown "Gold Coast" area at 1029 North Dearborn Street. His offer was accepted, and the building has served as the CCC Clubhouse since. Because of the foresight of the Chicago-area's philatelic fraternity during the formative years, the current CCC membership enjoys the privileges and benefits of a permanent clubhouse building, a comprehensive philatelic library, and the opportunity to socialize monthly or more frequently with fellow collectors having similar interests. Membership in the Collectors Club of Chicago is by invitation only and is ratified by current membership.
