<!-- Do not add St. Ignatius High School, Old St. Patrick's Church, or Holy Family Church. Although they pre-date the fire, they were not in the burnt area. St. Ignatius is at 1076 W. Roosevelt Rd, which is west of Morgan St on what is called 12th Street on the map in this article.-->
The following structures from the burned district are still standing:

*[[St. Michael's Church, Old Town, Chicago|St. Michael's Church, Old Town]]
*[[Chicago Water Tower]]
*[[Chicago Avenue Pumping Station]] 
*Police Constable Bellinger's cottage at 21 Lincoln Place (2121 North Hudson, today).<ref name="wbez.org">{{cite web |url=http://www.wbez.org/blog/john-r-schmidt/2011-07-19/cider-house-story-89141 |title=The Cider House and the Great Fire |last=Schmidt |first=John R. |date=July 19, 2011 |website=[[WBEZ]] Blogs |access-date=April 4, 2018 |archive-date=December 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151224160831/http://www.wbez.org/blog/john-r-schmidt/2011-07-19/cider-house-story-89141 |url-status=dead }}</ref> 
*2323 and 2339 North Cleveland Avenue also survived the blaze.<ref name="wbez.org" />

St. Michael's Church and the Pumping Station were both gutted in the fire, but their exteriors survived, and the buildings were rebuilt using the surviving walls. Additionally, though the inhabitable portions of the building were destroyed, the bell tower of [[St. James Cathedral (Chicago)|St. James Cathedral]] survived the fire and was incorporated into the rebuilt church. The stones near the top of the tower are still blackened from the soot and smoke.
