House Walk

Logan Square Preservation is proud to have presented the 35th Biennial House Walk on Saturday, September 20th 2025. This beloved community event offered a rare opportunity to step inside some of Logan Square’s most stunning historic homes and explore beautifully maintained gardens, with a special focus on the Palmer Square area.

Participants enjoyed guided interior access to 7 architecturally significant residences on Palmer Square as well as the Holy Resurrection Serbian Orthodox Church, designed in 1910 by Lowe and Bollenbacher, a firm active in Chicago a century ago. Each location showcasing the rich history and unique character of the neighborhood.

About the House walk

This event, among the first undertaken when Logan Square Preservation was founded decades ago, is our longest running education and outreach effort in furtherance of our mission to celebrate the unique history of our neighborhood.


Logan Square Preservation has focused, since its beginning, on the preservation of the great architecture that distinguishes our neighborhood.
