  Ravenswood
Ravenswood, a residential subdivision in the township of Lake View, was designed to be one of Chicago's first and most exclusive commuter suburbs.
Longtime Ravenswood residents interviewed in the 1920s recalled open ditches and muddy streets alongside the lovely lawns, houses, and trees.
The introduction of electric streetcar lines in the 1890s and the extension of the “L” in 1907 made the area accessible to less affluent residents, whose small houses, two-flats, and apartment buildings filled in the gap between Chicago and its former suburb.

 Chicago ''L''.org: Operations - Lines -> Ravenswood branch
When the Ravenswood Line was made independent of other North-South service in August of that year, all of the steel 4000s were reassigned to the new North-South Route via the subway and the Rave was given a fleet made up entirely of old wood-bodied equipment, much of it on its last legs.
All 2600-series cars were eventually removed from the route, giving the Ravenswood two things it hadn't had in over 40 years: not only did it operate with all one type of equipment, but it was all the newest equipment on the system rather than a collection of hand-me-downs.
Where the Ravenswood branch parallels Ravenswood Avenue, the neighborhood is an eclectic mixture of low and medium-density residences and industrial buildings, as evidenced by the detached homes and industrial complex in the left background near Grace Avenue on April 18, 2003.
