History
The the Portage Park intersection includes Irving Park Road, Cicero Avenue and Milwaukee Avenue.[9] Its history as an urban center began in the 1840s, eventually becoming the largest commercial center in Chicago, outside of the Loop.[10] There is evidence that Native Americans used a ridge along Milwaukee Avenue as a campsite,[11] which would have been higher than the generally swampy surrounding land.

Architecture
The Portage Park area is host to a number of examples of prominent architecture, including the art deco Sears and Klee Buildings, the classical revival Portage Theater and the landmark Peoples Gas Irving Park Neighborhood Store.
Although the Portage Park shopping district has fallen on hard times in recent years, the area has been slated for redevelopment as an urban pedestrian shopping district with the recent reopening of the Portage Theater, the upcoming construction of several retail-condo buildings and a street beautification project.[12]
