Green Mill Cocktail Lounge

• The Green Mill Cocktail Lounge (or Green Mill Jazz Club) is an entertainment venue. It is known for its jazz and poetry performances, along with its connections to Chicago mob history.

• Originally named Pop Morse's Roadhouse, the business opened in 1907. It was renamed Green Mill Gardens a few years later, a nod to the famous Moulin Rouge ("Red Mill") of Paris. In its early years, it was a popular hangout for movie actors from nearby Essanay Studios. The namesake gardens were removed in the 1920s during the construction of the Uptown Theatre on the same block.

Graceland Cemetery

• Established in 1860, Graceland Cemetery is a large Victorian era cemetery located in the north side community area of Uptown.

• The cemetery is typical of those that reflect Queen Victoria's reconception of the early 19th century "graveyard". Instead of poorly maintained headstones, and bodies buried on top of each other, on an ungenerous parcel of land; the cemetery became a pastoral landscaped park dotted with memorial markers, with room left over for picnics, a common usage of cemeteries. The landscape architecture for Graceland was designed by Ossian Cole Simonds
