Marshall Square

Marshall Square is a neighborhood on Chicago's West side, in the northeast corner of the South Lawndale Community Area. The bulk of the Marshall Square neighborhood falls within the aldermanic boundaries of the 12th Ward.

Points of interest include: the art-deco Marshall Square Theater at Cermak and Marshall Blvd., which was originally a vaudeville venue, later a silent movie theater, and currently a venue for banquets, weddings, and Latin music under the current name of "Apollo's 2000"; The massive Carter Harrison High School at 24th Blvd. and Marshall Blvd., now an elementary school named for Maria Saucedo; and the highly visible statue of Marquette and Joliet which stands at the junction between Marshall and 24th Blvds.
