After the great Chicago Fire in 1871, the population expanded rapidly beyond Fullerton Avenue, which was then the northern boundary line of the city. In 1882, Lake View was mostly farmland and Lincoln Avenue was the main country road that extended from Fullerton to Lawrence Avenue. Unpaved, it was flanked on both sides by deep draining ditches, usually retaining stagnant water, almost impassable in rainy and wintry weather. Cutting across what was then Lincoln Highway were lesser mud roads. North of Roscoe was a thick grove of oak trees. It spread from Ashland Avenue to the lake. East of Greenview (or Perry as it was called then) was rural including farm houses and barns, grazing cattle and farmers who sold their products to the city markets.
