About Lincoln Park
Where to stay in Lincoln Park
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Lincoln Park is a residential community area of Chicago, richer in churches and old homes than in hotels. Lincoln Park offers only a handful of places to stay. Visitors who come for the Alexander Hamilton Memorial, the Roger Brown Home and Studio, or a service at Saint Clement Catholic Church usually base themselves elsewhere in the city and travel up, as lodging within the area is thin.
St. Josaphat's stands among the streets.
About Lincoln Park
What are the main landmarks in Lincoln Park?
Lincoln Park keeps its landmarks in its churches and its houses. The Roger Brown Home and Studio preserves an artist's house among the streets, while the Alexander Hamilton Memorial stands as the area's public monument and draws its own visitors through the quarter. Its churches crown the skyline: Saint Clement Catholic Church, St. Josaphat's, and St. Alphonsus Church all rise over this part of Chicago.
What is the history of Lincoln Park?
Lincoln Park developed as a residential quarter of Chicago, its blocks filling with homes and the parish churches that served them. Faith shaped the streets. Saint Clement Catholic Church and St. Alphonsus Church were raised to serve the community that gathered, and the Roger Brown Home and Studio later marked the artistic life that took root among the older houses.
That fabric endures.
