Some interesting info about Kenwood...

Kenwood is on the shore of Lake Michigan on the South Side of the city. Its boundaries are 43rd Street, 51st Street, Cottage Grove Avenue, and Lake Michigan. It was once one of Chicago's most affluent neighborhoods, and has some of the largest single-family homes in the city. Kenwood received national attention because former U.S. President Barack Obama once lived there.



Kenwood was settled in the 1850s by wealthy Chicagoans leaving the congestion downtown. John A. Kennicott, was one of the first residents. He built his home on 48th Street near the Illinois Central Railroad. The home and the railroad depot were named Kenwood after Kennicott's ancestral home in Scotland.

Indian Village is a neighborhood, in the southeastern portion of Kenwood which contains the Chicago Landmark Powhatan Apartments and the National Register of Historic Places Narragansett. The Blackstone Library, built in 1902, is another landmark in Kenwood.
