Ravenswood Manor Nestled along the Chicago River between Ravenswood and Albany Park is Ravenswood Manor. Bounded by Lawrence, Sacramento, Montrose and the North Branch of the Chicago River, this neighborhood was built by wealthy industrialists and city leaders in the early 1900s. Its attractions include landmark houses, homes with private docks and some of the most spectacular private gardens in the city. Several of the gardens are open to the public during the Ravenswood Manor Garden Walk, an annual summer event.
