From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Illinois-Indiana State Line Boundary Marker is a sandstone obelisk located at the end of Avenue G Drive in Chicago, Illinois.

The obelisk was constructed by the Office of the United States Surveyor General ca. 1838. In 1988, it was moved about 191 feet north of its original location, but the structure continues to straddle the state line between Illinois and Indiana. As one of the few extant structures in Chicago that predate the Great Fire of 1871, the marker earned Chicago Landmark status on September 4, 2002.[1]
