- Prairie Avenue is a north–south thoroughfare on the South Side of Chicago, which historically extended from 16th street in the Near South Side community area of Chicago in Cook County, Illinois, USA to the city's southern limits and beyond. The street has a rich history from its origins as a major trail for horseback riders and carriages. During the last three decades of the 19th century, a six-block section of the street served as the residence of many of Chicago’s elite families and an additional four-block section was also known for grand homes. The upper six-block section includes the historic Prairie Avenue District, which was declared a Chicago Landmark and added to the National Register of Historic Places. Several of Chicago's most important historical figures have lived on the street. This is especially true of the period of recovery from the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 when many of the most important families in the city moved to the street. Residents of the street have influenced the evolution of the city and have played prominent national and international roles. They have influenced the political history, the architecture, the culture, the economy, as well as the law and government of Chicago. The street has over time been influenced by the demographics of Chicago. The importance of the street has declined, but it still has landmark buildings and is the backbone of an historic district. Additionally, the street is being redeveloped to host valuable and important condominiums. Recently, developments have extended the street north to accommodate new high-rise condominiums along Roosevelt Road (12th street). The redevelopment has extended the street so that it has prominent buildings bordering Grant Park with Prairie Avenue addresses.
- Prairie Avenue est une voie nord-sud de South Side à Chicago, longue d'une vingtaine de kilomètres, qui s'étendait à l'origine de la Seizième rue dans le secteur communautaire de Near South Side jusqu'à la limite méridionale de la ville et même au-delà. L'histoire de l'avenue est particulièrement riche depuis l'époque des cavaliers et attelages. Lors des trois dernières décennies du XIX siècle, une section de six blocks de l'avenue était habitée par les familles les plus en vue de Chicago. Plusieurs figures historiques de la ville vécurent dans cette rue. En particulier pendant la période de reconstruction qui suivit le Grand incendie de 1871, lorsque les plus importantes familles de la ville s'installèrent dans l'avenue. Ses résidents marquèrent l'histoire de la cité et jouèrent un rôle prépondérant au niveau national ou international. Ils influencèrent sa vie politique, son architecture, sa vie culturelle, son économie, ainsi que son système législatif et gouvernemental. Si, de nos jours, l'importance de la rue a décliné, elle n'en abrite pas moins des bâtiments marquants et reste l'épine dorsale d'un quartier historique. De récents réaménagements ont étendu l'avenue vers le nord afin d'intégrer de nouveaux gratte-ciel. Cette extension permit à ces immeubles, bordant Grant Park, d'afficher une adresse sur la fameuse Prairie Avenue.
