About District

District is Chicago's beloved destination for unique vintage and mid-century modern home furnishings, now located in the vibrant Andersonville neighborhood on Clark Street. Founded by Chris Murphy in 2010—originally operating out of his garage—the shop quickly earned a devoted following for its curated mix of restored vintage furniture, art, and eclectic design finds. Today District occupies a bright, airy storefront where Murphy's talent for breathing new life into classic pieces is on full display.

What Makes Them Special

What sets District apart is the personal touch Chris Murphy brings to every piece in the shop. Many items are restored and refinished in-house, giving vintage furniture a fresh look while honoring its original character. The store's warm, approachable style blends mid-century silhouettes with contemporary sensibility, making it a favorite among both seasoned collectors and first-time vintage shoppers looking for that perfect statement piece.
