DeKoven Street is a street in Chicago, Illinois named for John DeKoven.
The Great Chicago Fire started at 137 DeKoven Street in a barn belonging to Patrick and Catherine O'Leary. At the time, the street was in a less prosperous neighborhood of Chicago. The site of the barn, now numbered 558 West, now houses the Chicago Fire Department training school, near the intersection of Roosevelt Road and Canal Street, just southwest of the Loop.
