The Yale Building, also known as The Yale, is a seven-story building located in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. It is an important "first generation" residential high-rise, a building type made possible by advances in building structure and technology, and reflects the great growth in real estate development which typified the city in the 1890s. The building is a large-scale example of Romanesque Revival architecture style popularized by the buildings of Henry H. Richardson, and exhibits excellent craftsmanship in both materials and detailing. It was built in 1892 as accommodation for the upcoming World's Columbian Exposition. The Yale Apartments also possesses a rare interior atrium, ringed with galleries and topped by a glass-and-metal skylight. It has been described as one of Chicagos "best-kept secrets" after being featured during the 2016 Open House Chicago. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 5, 1998, and later designated a Chicago Landmark on April 9, 2003.The Yale was originally built as luxury apartments for the Chicago Exposition.

One top floor apartment had the addition of a staircase up to a rooftop room referred to as the penthouse. It was renovated in 2003 and now features 69 apartments for low-income senior citizens.

Many other notable artists and music producers have come from Parkway Gardens as well. In recent years, however, the complex has become the center of one of Chicago's most violent blocks. The complex is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The South Park Manor Historic District is a residential historic district in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The district includes 263 Chicago bungalows built between 1915 and 1927. At the time, single-family homeownership was becoming broadly accessible to Chicagoans, and the bungalow was a popular choice for dense urban housing. The bungalows in the district were designed by several developers, but the district has a consistent appearance nonetheless. The use of a single home type throughout provided uniformity to the neighborhood, while stylistic variations such as the placement of dormers and porches gave each house its own character. The developers also gave their homes spacious lawns and private backyards to preserve green space in an urban setting.The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 2004.
