Введение
Стритервилл — это район в общинной зоне Нар-Норт-Сайд города Чикаго, штат Иллинойс, США, расположенный к северу от реки Чикаго. Он ограничен рекой с юга, участком Мичиган-авеню с запада и озером Мичиган с севера и востока, хотя город Чикаго признаёт лишь небольшую часть этой территории как Стритервилл. Таким образом, его можно описать как Великолепную Милю и все земли к востоку от неё. Туристические достопримечательности Navy Pier и пляж Ohio Street Beach простираются в озеро с южной части Стритервилла. На севере район Ист-Лейк-Шор-Драйв, где Драйв огибает береговую линию, можно рассматривать как продолжение Голд-Коста. Большая часть земли в этом районе — это отвоеванная у озера песчаная коса. В начале XXI века район активно застраивался, поскольку многочисленные пустующие участки в Стритервилле были преобразованы в коммерческие и жилые объекты, особенно в южной части района. К 1803 году, когда американские войска начали строительство Форта Дирборн, барьер в бухте заблокировал устье реки, заставив её отклониться к югу и впадать в озеро Мичиган примерно на уровне современной улицы Мэдисон. При обследовании в 1821 году береговая линия озера Мичиган к северу от реки проходила примерно вдоль нынешней улицы Норт-Сент-Клэр, к востоку от нынешней Мичиган-авеню. В 1834 году, после нескольких неудачных попыток пробить песчаную косу у устья реки, был построен пирс длиной 457 метров для защиты канала, прорытого через косу. К северу от этого пирса накапливались ил и песок, создавая пригодную для использования землю, которая позже получила прозвище «Пески». Незаконные поселенцы и район с неблагоприятной репутацией вторглись в район, вызывая беспокойство среди владельцев недвижимости. В 1857 году мэр Чикаго Джон Вентворт выселил этих нарушителей с земли. Засыпка мусора с целью создания земли для строительства Лейк-Шор-Драйв, осуществляемая Советом Линкольн-Парка, создала новые земли вдоль берега озера, на которые претендовал Стритер. Стритер утверждал, что эта вновь созданная земля принадлежит ему и что это независимая территория, которую он назвал Округом озера Мичиган. В течение следующих нескольких десятилетий Стритер упорно отстаивал свои права, иногда поддерживая их преступными методами. Стритера мотивировала прибыль, которую он получал от продажи и налогообложения земли, на которую он претендовал. Местная пресса была очарована историей наглой личности Стритера и его самопровозглашенного округа. После нескольких попыток выселения и перестрелок Стритер оказался в тюрьме. Открытие моста Мичиган-авеню в 1920 году, которое было частью усилий по реализации плана Бернхема 1909 года, а также экономический бум 1920-х годов, способствовали развитию архитектуры Великолепной мили во время экономического бума 1920-х годов, подчеркнув исторические архитектурные стили, такие как неоклассицизм, неоготика и модернизм в стиле вертикальных линий. Здания изменили горизонт Чикаго, внеся стилистическое разнообразие, которое придало новый смысл городскому контексту и совместимости дизайна. В Стритервилле расположены одни из самых высоких небоскребов Чикаго, такие как Центр Джона Хэнкока, а также дорогие магазины, отели и рестораны. Хотя его основной кампус находится в Эванстоне, штат Иллинойс, Северо-Западный университет имеет свой чикагский кампус здесь. Медицинская школа Фейнберга Северо-Западного университета находится на чикагском кампусе и граничит с несколькими тесно связанными больницами, включая Северо-Западную мемориальную больницу, детскую больницу Энн и Роберта Х. Лури в Чикаго, женскую больницу Прентиса и Институт реабилитации Чикаго. Женская больница Прентиса открылась в октябре 2007 года, а детская больница Энн и Роберта Х. Лури в Чикаго — в июне 2012 года. Район к востоку от Мичиган-авеню и к северу от реки Чикаго на протяжении большей части XX века имел двойственный характер: северная часть использовалась для жилья, розничной торговли и университетов, а территория вблизи реки Чикаго и Navy Pier была посвящена судоходству и фабрикам. Однако в конце 1960-х годов среди складов стали появляться жилые комплексы, такие как Lake Point Tower (1965) и McClurg Court Center (1971), и к концу века жилая и розничная торговля доминировали во всей территории. Этот район теперь имеет репутацию части элитной жилой полосы, которая уравновешивает более промышленную западную часть Нар-Норт-Сайд. Предполагалось, что Chicago Spire будет расположен в юго-восточном углу района, рядом с Лейк-Шор-Драйв. Первоначально планировалось завершить строительство в 2010 году, но позже проект был отменен. В начале XXI века большая часть южной части района, которая ранее была занята складами и пустырями, была застроена. River East Art Center служит основным торговым центром, помимо Великолепной мили. В Стритервилле расположены несколько достопримечательностей и мест, признанных историческими районами. Исторический район Ист-Лейк-Шор-Драйв, состоящий из ряда роскошных квартир начала XX века, расположен на северной окраине района, напротив озера Мичиган. Исторический район Старой Чикагской водонапорной башни расположен вдоль Мичиган-авеню, там, где Стритервилл граничит с районами Ривер-Норт и Голд-Кост (Чикаго) на Чикаго-авеню. В Водонапорном районе сохранились единственные общественные здания, пережившие Великий Чикагский пожар 1871 года. Кроме того, часть исторического района Мичиган-Уокер находится в пределах Стритервилла на южной оконечности Великолепной мили и включает в себя многочисленные высотки и небоскребы, построенные в 1920-х годах. В районе расположены несколько отдельных достопримечательностей. В районе находится Национальный исторический памятник — место поселения Жана-Батиста Пуан-Дю-Сабля, первого не коренного жителя Чикаго, женатого на коренной женщине. Объекты, внесенные в Национальный реестр исторических мест, включают 257 East Delaware, апартаменты 860–880 Lake Shore Drive, отель Drake, Четвертую пресвитерианскую церковь Чикаго, Navy Pier и здание Palmolive. Другие достопримечательности Чикаго в районе включают отель Allerton, здание McGraw Hill, офис и студию Perkins, Fellows & Hamilton, Tribune Tower и Женский атлетический клуб.

Streeterville is a neighborhood in the Near North Side community area of Chicago, Illinois, United States, north of the Chicago River. It is bounded by the river on the south, the Magnificent Mile portion of Michigan Avenue on the west, and Lake Michigan on the north and east, according to most sources, although the City of Chicago only recognizes a small portion of this region as Streeterville. Thus, it can be described as the Magnificent Mile plus all land east of it. The tourist attraction of Navy Pier and Ohio Street Beach extend out into the lake from southern Streeterville. To the north, the East Lake Shore Drive District, where the Drive curves around the shoreline, may be considered an extension the Gold Coast. The majority of the land in this neighborhood is reclaimed sandbar. The area has undergone increased development in the early 21st century as numerous empty lots in Streeterville have been converted into commercial and residential properties, especially in the southern part of the neighborhood. By 1803, when American troops started the construction of Fort Dearborn, a baymouth bar blocked the mouth of the river causing it to jog southwards and enter Lake Michigan at about the level of present day Madison Street. When surveyed in 1821 the Lake Michigan shoreline north of the river ran approximately along what is now North Saint Clair Street, just to the east of what is now Michigan Avenue. In 1834, after a number of failed attempts to cut through the sandbar at the mouth of the river, a 1500 feet (457 m) pier was built to protect a channel cut through the bar. Silt and sand accumulated north of this pier, creating usable land that was later nicknamed "The Sands". Squatters and a vice district encroached on the district, causing angst among the property owners. In 1857, Chicago Mayor John Wentworth evicted these trespassers from the land. Landfill dumped in an effort to create land on which to build Lake Shore Drive by the Lincoln Park Board created of new land along the lake front, which Streeter attempted to claim. Streeter claimed that this newly created land was his and that it was an independent territory which he called the District of Lake Michigan. For the next few decades, Streeter persisted in his claims, sometimes supporting them through criminal means. Streeter was also motivated by the profit he gained by selling and taxing the land he claimed. The local press became enamored with the story of Streeter's brash personality and his self proclaimed district. and after several eviction attempts and gun battles, Streeter landed in jail. The 1920 opening of the Michigan Avenue Bridge, which was part of the efforts to enact the Burnham Plan of 1909, as well as the economic boom of the 1920s, Magnificent Mile architecture during the economic boom of the 1920s emphasized historicist architectural styles such as Beaux Arts classicism, Gothic revival, and vertical style modernism. The buildings redefined the Chicago skyline with stylistic variation that gave new meaning to urban context and design compatibility. Streeterville includes some of Chicago's tallest skyscrapers, such as the John Hancock Center, and upscale stores, hotels, and restaurants. Although its main campus is in Evanston, Illinois, Northwestern University has its Chicago campus here. The Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is on the Chicago campus and is adjacent to several closely affiliated hospitals, including Northwestern Memorial Hospital, the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, the Prentice Women's Hospital, and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. The Prentice Women's Hospital opened in October 2007, and the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago opened in June 2012. The area east of Michigan Avenue and north of the Chicago River had a split personality for much of the 20th century the northern portion upscale residential, retail, and university uses and the area near the Chicago River and Navy Pier dedicated to shipping and factories. At the end of the 1960s, however, residential complexes such as Lake Point Tower (1965) and McClurg Court Center (1971) began to appear among the warehouses and by the end of the century, residential and retail dominated the entire area. The neighborhood now has a reputation as part of an upscale residential strip that balances the more industrial western portion of the Near North Side. It was to be located in the southeastern corner of the neighborhood, next to Lake Shore Drive. The Chicago Spire was originally supposed to be completed in 2010, but was later cancelled. In the early 21st century, much of the southern part of the neighborhood that had previously contained warehouses and empty lots has undergone development, The River East Art Center serves as the primary retail hub apart from the Magnificent Mile. Streeterville hosts several landmarks and places that have been designated as historic districts. The East Lake Shore Drive Historic District, which consists of a row of early 20th century luxury apartments, sits on the northern edge of the district opposite Lake Michigan. The Old Chicago Water Tower District is located along Michigan Avenue where Streeterville meets the border of the River North and Gold Coast (Chicago) neighborhoods at Chicago Avenue. The Water Tower District contains the only public buildings that survived the 1871 Great Chicago Fire. Also, part of the Michigan–Wacker Historic District lies within Streeterville at the southern end of the Magnificent Mile and contains numerous high rises and skyscrapers built in the 1920s. The neighborhood hosts several individual landmarks. The neighborhood hosts a National Historic Landmark, the
