 DePaul visit chamber website  |
DePaul University began with a small cluster of buildings around St. Vincent's Church on Webster. Today, more than 16,000 students attend classes on DePaul's downtown and Lincoln Park campuses. St. Vincent's, with its twin towers, is still a neighborhood landmark. But the centerpiece of the DePaul campus is the $25-million library on a landscaped triangle on Seminary Avenue.
Coffeehouses, neighborhood taverns, antique shops and bookstores give the DePaul neighborhood the look and feel of a small university town. The elevated tracks are the only reminder that the community is near the heart of a major city. Residents say the community attracts students and young renters.
The McCormick Row Houses which are located along West Belden Avenue have a rich history. They were built in between 1884 and 1889 for faculty members of DePaul. They feature lively rooflines, stained glass and decorative brickwork.
