DeKalb, Illinois

DeKalb is just south of Sycamore and arguably has the better architecture. With nearby Northern Illinois University and landmarks such as the Egyptian Theatre and Ellwood House, it forms a sort of gate into suburban Kane County along I-88. 

A ★ denotes a building with its own article.
