Which street is assigned the numerical value of 1600 E?

  1. Cottage Grove

  2. Woodlawn

  3. Brandon

  4. Howard

The correct answer is: Woodlawn

The designation of 1600 E corresponds to the location of Woodlawn Avenue in Chicago. Chicago utilizes a geographic numbering system for its streets, where the center point is located at State Street and Madison Street, representing the baseline for the east-west and north-south street numbering. Specifically, the numerical values for east-west streets increase as you move east of State Street. In this context, 1600 E signifies that Woodlawn Avenue is the street located 16 blocks east of State Street. Woodlawn Avenue itself runs north-south and aligns with the overall grid system utilized by the city for street numbering. This system provides clarity and guideposts for navigation through Chicago, making Woodlawn Avenue an essential point of reference within the East Side neighborhood. The other options do not align with the 1600 E designation based on the city’s street numbering conventions.
